Homebrew Ba-rat Species Details

Ba-Rats are the result of a mysterious mutation that occurred when common cave bats mingled with a population of rat-folk dwelling in underground caverns. Over time, these two species intertwined, giving rise to a new hybrid race known as Ba-Rats. They inherited the bat's nocturnal instincts and echolocation abilities, as well as the rat's resourcefulness and adaptability.

Despite facing initial skepticism and prejudice from other races, Ba-Rats quickly proved their worth with their exceptional agility, sharp senses, and knack for exploration. They are often found in bustling cities, where their skills are highly sought after for tasks such as scouting, espionage, and reconnaissance. Ba-Rats are fiercely independent and value their freedom, but they also form strong bonds with those they trust, making them loyal companions and reliable allies.
