Ratlings are the smallest type of abhuman, . Some say that their ancestors having become became stunted by thousands of years of inbreeding on worlds with naturally soporific climates and abundant harvests.{{Fn|4}}

Ratlings rarely reach 1.3 meters in height,{{Fn|4}} being even smaller and slighter than Squats,{{Fn|3}} and though their lack of dietary restrictions tend to make them husky, they are not particularly strong{{Fn|4}} or resilient.{{Fn|3}} This individual weakness is more than made up for by their deep sense of community, always looking out for one another. Ratlings differ from baseline human physiology is that the forehead of their skulls are denser,{{Fn|24a}} as well as their toenails being as tough as [[grox]] horns. An imaginative Ratling could use a bitten off toenail as an impromptu tool when cutting and splicing the wires of electronics.{{Fn|24b}}

Their speed and dexterity makes them natural marksmen, as well as pickpockets.{{Fn|16a}} They are viewed by Imperials as idle, hedonistic, loud, gregarious, over-friendly and sexually promiscuous. That their lives are spent eating until sick, drinking copious amounts of intoxicating liquids, and procreating uncontrollably.{{Fn|4}} Their libidinous nature and proclivity towards cooking prove true. Their ingenious nature and love for food is exemplified in their cuisine, which is well known as being phenomenal.{{Fn|1}} While some Imperials Imperial commanders would pull some strings in order to get a Ratling chef, more zealous commanders or [[Noble]]s would become sick at the thought of eating the slop made by such a subhuman creature, or simply execute whoever appointed the Ratling as chef.{{Fn|24}}
