Giant rat

Dire rats were dangerous creatures. They were much larger than the common rat and were found in dungeons and city sewers. The bite of these creatures carried a potentially lethal disease known as filth fever.

Locations
Dire rats could be found in the wild in the Silver Marches, particularly in the Rauvin Vale and Sundabar Vale, as well as in the High Forest.
