Ratlings are humanoid rats, with long naked tails, snouts, pink ears, and pronounced incisors, just like their non-humanoid kin. They are covered in fur of traditional rat colorations, ranging from white all the way to black, and most of the shades and different fur patterns in between. They range between 5′ and 5’6″ tall, with heights about equal for males and females.
