A giant plague rat in Black Burrow
 

There is a giant plague rat in the starting area pathing around in blackburrow. I cannot identify its lvl due to it being that high. (im lvl 7) and its causing havoc among the lower levels that are trying to hunt there. we got a high lvl wizard to kill it last night but its back again. the is no giant plague rat in the wiki either. so if you plan on hunting in bb keep your head on a swivel and run like hell if you see it near you.

Plague Rat is mentioned in EQ Atlas Blackburrow; types of monsters.

Yeah the other day I was there with my enchanter and yes, havoc!!

I saw it slaughter other low level players.

Fun times:)

There is also a named gnoll that occasionally roams the top as well. It may be that the rat is his PH. I suspect these appeared post-patch because I’ve leveled many toons there and never seen these until recently.

Oh man, a mysterious new rat in blackburrow? I'm intrigued!

Level 12.

The "Gynok Moltor" of blackburrow.

There is also a Grizzly bear PH.

And here I thought Befallen was the only trolling low-level dungeon.
