Or a brightly colored collar, with a little nametag that says "Fiddle", indicating it is perhaps someone's pet? :D

I don't understand why anybody would ever even take a rat as a pet, yet they do.

Because they are small, and not really that threatening. A skaven is MUCH more horrible.

Well... well... Rats bite really nasty

We're talking about a man sized, plague invested beast of chaos here.
Just google what the average Skaven looks like.

You're psychic!......

But in all seriousness I had planned on the Skaven being a Slave/Bound Mercenary and being dragged around with a chain attatched to his collar and a Empire symbol branded on it. Something along those lines.

My reply was more of a joke, since a pet Skaven would never work.

And even if it was allowed, I'd let Sasha eat him. I hate rats

I wanted to RP as a Skaven, but Arch said no.
Why should you have two characters let alone a Skaven?

Huh, didn't know the topic already came up. Alright, no Skaven it is.

Iris is playing an Ogre because they're used as Mercenaries.
If you're after something more bizarre I'd ask Arch if you could be something else that isn't chaos tainted.

Well after reading the Children of the Horned Rat Sourcebook I see that Skaven are also used as Mercenaries (Clan Eshin assassins/Stormvermins/Skirmishers and even Clanrats can all become Mercenaries and have been used as mercenaries aparrently) mostly by morally ambiguous people. But the only other race besides Ogre that I can think of that is exotic but also not totally bonkers would be the Lizardmen (But I know nothing about them or if they're even not bonkers).

I see, except Arch's plot suggests that the Skaven were the cause of the plague etc.
So I don't see it possible for them to be walking around the capitol of the Empire.

Hmm Lizardman. They tend to keep to their own domains, protecting their sacred land (Or so I've heard from a friend of mine whose Lizardman army I've played against). They're tribal and not technologically advanced, but do seem heavy on the magic side.

Too bad Arch is asleep now, otherwise he'd be able to clear this up.

Pretty sure no one would let this run around in broad daylight anyway. That's what skittering around society is for. Still, if Skaven started it then that would cause some complications.

If you read Arch's opening post in the IC thread you'll know for sure.

*Reads post*

Huh, well it seems as if the idea that the Skaven did it is being covered up so it won't be quite as much Skaven hatred, especially to those who think it was only Beastmen who attacked Nuln.

It's not like people like Skaven to begin with.

I personally say that a Skaven on the roster would come in handy. He could be introduced to the party if we ever find ourselves in the sewers. Good guide of the underworld.

No doubt it'd be handy, I'm just not sure how fluffy it is
