Defined by their rodent features and relentless survival instinct. Paranoid, adaptive, and driven by hunger.
Skaven are a rare Races of ratfolk most commonly found in the lower strata of society: sewers, ruins, ship holds, and overcrowded districts others avoid. They are known for their sharp senses, rapid breeding, and extreme adaptability, thriving in conditions that would break most other races. Skaven culture is deeply fractured and competitive. Cooperation is temporary, trust is conditional, and betrayal is expected. They are highly pragmatic, valuing survival and advantage above morality, and are often depicted as schemers, informants, or disposable labor. Despite this reputation, Skaven possess a sharp, if self-serving, intelligence and an uncanny ability to persist through overwhelming odds.
