Wolf Rats
Swift paws and vicious claws let loose upon the battlefield are sure to lead to a violent, blood-drenched mass-mauling.The ravenous, monstrous Wolf Rats are neither rat nor wolf, but an aberrant amalgamation of the two that is both lean and insatiably hungry. When used in battle, their slavering packs are unleashed ahead of other troops since the beasts will readily charge headlong into an enemy, so eager they are to feast upon flesh. Fearless enough to dash into a hail of arrows, they will pounce and rip out an archer’s throat before he has had time to draw his bow for a second shot. Then, tensing back on their long muscular limbs, they will leap hungrily into the ranks behind to take their fill of the bounteous feast laid before them.

Abilities
- Scurry Away!
"He who runs away lives to fight another day!" - so the foul, craven adage goes.
Attributes
- {{tr:guerrilla_deployment}}
- Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close. - Moulder Monster
This is a unit created by Clan Moulder. Packmasters and Throt the Unclean can push it to its full combat potential and restore it in battle. - Strider
This unit ignores speed and combat penalties caused by terrain and can move through trees.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Very Fast
This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire. - Vanguard Deployment
This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected. - Armour-Piercing
The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
