Kanalratte (Ger. sewer rat)

Kanalratte are fearsome relatives of Reinigen. Kanalratte and Reinigen are believed to be the two closest related Wesen species; they can even mate together without too many difficulties. Kanalratte are suppliers of the black market. They are criminals-for-hire, often commiting crimes such as robbery under the orders of others. Kanalratte are also sometimes employed by Pferdewagen to capture other Wesen for the Wesen Slave Trade. These creatures move in packs and travel through sewer systems (where they also live), commiting robberies and kidnappings with ease. They are considered by many to be uncivilised; they receive payments for their crimes, but are not greedy because they have no need for material possessions, other than food and clothing.

When woged, they look very similar to Reinigen, but their fur is greasy, their ears are torn, and their skin is covered with benign tumors and sores. It should also be noted that they also develope teeth that are more sharp than rodent-like.
