Rodents of unusual size
 

ST 4, DX 12, IQ 6, MA 12
Bite (1d-2; HTH only)
Defense: -2 to be hit with thrown weapon or missile attacks, no modifier for other attacks or facing.

These 20 pound monsters would be good eating if they weren't usually infected (at least the ones who will attack adventures, roll for infection if you take bite damage)
In combat they will attempt to enter HTH and against anyone larger than a goblin treat as you would a human clinging to a giant.

Is the minus to hit with thrown/missile weapons due to size?
