[Segunda Monstruosa #05] Rat Queen / Ratazana Rainha

[PORTUGUÊS]

Uma vez a cada muitas gerações um rato nasce destinado a conquistar grandiosidades. Uma ratazana rainha é mais forte, sábia e esperta que qualquer outro da sua espécie. Crescendo a proporções imensas, essa fêmea escolhida dá luz a muitos e ajuda a rataria se espalhar. Sendo a matriarca líder do bando, ela os alimenta e protege. Mas, dada a imensidão de sua prole e sua própria grandeza, ratazanas rainhas não se importam em usar quais meios forem necessários para sobreviver e continuar a liderar seu povo para glória jamais vista entre roedores – mesmo que para isso precise sacrificar alguns de sua ninhada.
