Sinkhole Rat Swarm
Level 4 Wildlife · The Sunken Roadhouse
Sinkhole Rat Swarm is a level 4 wildlife found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A writhing mass of rats that has colonised the lower levels of the sinkhole and occasionally swarms up through cracks in the roadhouse floor. Individually harmless. Together, a serious problem.
What you are walking into
Sinkhole Rat Swarm is level 4, carries 30 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Sinkhole Rat Swarm plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Sinkhole Rat Swarm
Sinkhole Rat Swarm is encountered at The Sunken Roadhouse. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination.
What it drops
A kill pays 50 experience and between $1 and $3. Its loot table can yield Rat Hide. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
