Slitherin
The Slitherin (originally spelled Slithirin) are a race of ratfolk native to the Dungeons & Dragons setting of the Scarred Lands. Somewhat Skaven-like, slitherins are a Titanspawn breed that emerged after the divine war, when rats fed upon the scraps of Titanic gore left behind by the battles and mutated into a race of humanoid creatures. As such, there are multiple different subspecies based on precisely which Titan they worship and whose flesh they feed upon.
5th edition added "Redeemed" Slitherins, ratfolk who chose to ally themselves with the godly races, as a PC option.
