The Ratgut is a Drowning Doom short-range infantry unit that specializes in destroying infantry.
Story[]
Ratguts make their first appearance partway through the battle between the Drowning Doom and Ironheade during the "Doom's Dawn" mission. They appear occasionally in subsequent missions, but beyond that, they are only found on the pathway down to the Sea of Black Tears, or inside the tunnel leading to the Sea. There, they are always found in the company of a Bride and a Brood carriage.
Role[]
Short-range infantry, melee infantry-killer. The Ratgut fights by expelling the rats from his body so they can devour enemy forces, replenishing his health when they are recalled back into his stomach.
These anti-infantry units are quite powerful, though their attack takes a moment to reach the target. Avatars can also block the rats as if they were a regular attack.
Double Team[]
Ridable infantry. Drowned Ophelia jumps into Ratgut's spacious stomach; from that location's relative safety, she can control her host's disease-ridden friends and focus their attacks on specific groups of enemies.
While the rats themselves cannot be harmed, the Ratgut is vulnerable to attack while his rats are deployed, as he will follow them when they move around.

Trivia[]
- As with Grave Diggers and Brides, Ratguts can lose body parts (their arms) and continue to function.
- The name "Ratgut" seems to be drawn from a common name for cheap alcohol; "Rotgut".
- Due to programming errors, the alternative voice is never heard in the game.
