  The Ratling
Ratlings, the offspring of a female wererat, appear to be giant rats with humanoid-like hands (opposable thumbs).
A young ratling's fur is usually a shade lighter than it will be as an adult wererat (perhaps due to its newness) but will darken to its true color by the age of one year.
Albino ratlings are rarely seen; upon discovery that her offspring is an albino, the wererat mother usually kills it, feeling it will not survive easily without dark coloration.
