→Overview
Ratling are highly dexterous, agile, and clever. Able to make slip second reactions that would be impossible for a baseline human.{{Fn|24}} Ratlings are ill-suited for being exploited as a [[slave|manual labour force]], even when pressed to the task.{{Fn|16c}}
Their speed and dexterity makes them natural marksmen, as well as pickpockets.{{Fn|16a}} Their libidinous nature and proclivity towards cooking prove true. Their ingenious nature and natural talents combined with a love for food is exemplified in their remarkable cuisine, which is well known as being phenomenal.{{Fn|1}} While some 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}}
Their short stature and relatively lithe build allows them to move through the undergrowth without making much noise.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|1}} Their bare feet allow them traverse various forms of terrain in silence.{{Fn|24c}} When moving quickly they will move on their toes.{{Fn|24}}
