Ratmen (or rat-men) are a cross between humans and rodents on the Serpent Isle, appearing in Ultima VII Part Two

Description[edit]

These creatures were a plague in the catacombs of Moonshade. While not very strong in combat, they are carriers of numerous diseases and have a poisonous bite; they generally only attack in superior numbers. The mages and rangers had long given up on taking care of the problem and simply locked all entrances to prevent this vermin from entering the city itself. Julia was one such ranger charged with ensuring the problem remained contained. However, they can be easily put to sleep with the right magical instrument.

They are found in large numbers within the catacombs beneath Moonshade.

Lore[edit]

These half-men, half-rats are the scourge of Moonshade. They infest the catacombs beneath that city, preventing access to the underground. There are far too many for us to overcome, but some day the time will arrive to purge the catacombs.
