The Ancients' breakthroughs in miniaturization led to all manner of innovations—in biomedicine, nanotechnology, and even the novelty pet industry—but one experiment had the opposite effect...
...and transformed once-tiny creatures into gigantic monstrosities...
...WITH ALL-CONSUMING APPETITES TO MATCH!!!
Killer shrews are aggressive, nocturnal rodents the size of 50-100 pound canines. Shaggy fur covers their bodies, and fangs dripping Class 17 poisonous saliva jut from their snouts.
Not only do the beasts scour the landscape in a perpetual hunt for food, but they breed at a mind-boggling rate: young shrews reach full reproductive maturity just 2-3 weeks after birth. A male/female pair can spawn a ravenous rodent regiment that reduces a region to ruin in just a few short months.
Accordingly, many communities in the Mutant Future pay premium bounties for killer shrew carcasses.
