List of Species in Magic: The Gathering - Nezumi-bito

Nezumi-bito

Ratfolk that dwell in the Takenuma swamp of Kamigawa, the Nezumi are greedy, treacherous thieves, mercenaries, and bandits. Often involved with the Soratami. A few Nezumi are also talented shamans, their magics learned from scrolls stolen from the Minamo academy.

Nezumi are generally split into various gangs, some more powerful than others. Like Goblin kingdoms, one can claim leadership by assassinating the head of a clan. One legendary Nezumi, known as Marrow-Gnawer, assassinated the leaders of three gangs in one night, thus becoming leader of them all. One gang of note is the Okiba gang, a clan of treacherous ninja. Nezumi females give birth to multiple offspring, leading to each Nezumi having around forty-to-sixty siblings.

Their name comes from the Japanese nezumi meaning "rat" and hito (affected by rendaku) meaning "person".
