Sneel

Sneel was a lesser deity of rats that was worshiped on Toril as part of the Cults of the Beast.

History
In the 14 century DR, a beast cult existed in the sewers of Waterdeep that venerated Sneel and whose members deliberately allowed themselves to be afflicted with the wererat form of lycanthropy. Sometime in the late 1350's DR, after the 15 of Mirtul, a cleric of the cult by the name of Pravus Muridae used a tanystropheus that had escaped into the sewers to lure out those seeking to claim the bounties placed on the dinosaur. Robbing those adventurers and bounty hunters, then using their bodies as either food for his fellow wererats or sacrifices to Sneel.

By the 15 century DR, this cult still remained and was secretly popular in the city's Dock Ward.

Worshipers
Sneel was primarily worshiped by intelligent rats, though some humanoids also showed it reverence, including wererats.

Background
Sneel was adapted by Ed Greenwood from the "rat god" of the Lankhmar setting, but is not meant to be the same character.
