Ecology
These large rats were often found in subterranean locations such as dungeons. Their skeletal structure had the ability to be compressed, allowing the giant Zakharan rat to squeeze through cracks and other tight openings. Giant Zakharan rats lived in groups of no larger than a dozen individuals. They ate basically anything they could, both living and dead.
