This Kreature was developed for infiltration, subterfuge and search and rescue missions. It will ensnare its opponents within its writhing triple tails, which are armed with sharp spines which inject neurotoxic venom. A mild sting will cause swelling and a harsh, stabbing pain that will subside within a day or two, but a lethal dose can stop a main's heart in less than 15 minutes. Fortunately it's extremely affectionate towards its Tamer, making it mostly safe even for hobbyists to keep. Unprovoked stings are extremely rare, though accidents sometimes happen, such a tail getting stepped on. Most of the time these will be dry stings with no venom, but Tamers are advised to keep an autoinjector with antivenom readily available at all times, just in case. Feral Lashrats are common in urban areas all over Dimentiara, where they gather in large colonies, scavenging food scraps and nesting in storm drains, sewers, attics and abandoned buildings. They in turn are prey for many other feral Kreatures, from Rahawk and Wyrmaou to Brizlarg and Foddox.
