Called the 'rat-people,' Skaven are natural dwellers in sewers or subterranean tunnels. Their short, hunched bodies can scurry through caverns with ease, balanced by their long hairless tails, with their sharp eyesight and sensitive whiskers telling them of things that lie beyond, half-hidden in the darkness. They have a fondness for treasure which they avidly collect, and make a delicacy from foods others would fear to dine upon, and are the ultimate survivors. The Skaven motto is 'When the world ends, it'll be us and the cockroaches left, baby!'
