Diseased rats

 is a wildlife of the Wildlife.

Background
When the Transportation Event occurred, the humans were unaware of rats living in their food stores. The vermin were transported along with the whole chunk of arctic landscape, and have thrived on Yavaun. These creatures are all infect- ed with a variation of rabies - a curable disease, but ultimately demoralising when it spreads through an army encampment. While Diseased Rats can live in the wild, they much prefer inhabited areas where they can live easy off the refuse of other creatures. Packs of these pests enter and contaminate a faction's community. So long as they are present in a player's town, that faction's Influence drops at a rate of five points per second.
