Level Adjustment -
An abomination stands before you, a grotesque heap of flesh, with ratlike claws and feet, and a grotesque head almost dog like. Its belly is constantly wriggling, pregnant with some unknown horrors, and occasionally it seems to scream inaudibly.
Rat Queens are heavily mutated dire rats, from living beneath powerful magical locations, or just insane wizard experiments. Rat queens are rotund, with about a 5 foot radius, demented limbs sticking out from its spherical body.
Combat
A Rat Queen rarely if ever attacks with its bite attack using it as a last resort, and sometimes not even then. It can barely move, slowly rolling its way away from danger, while belching out followers to defend it.
Disease (Ex): Filth Fever-bite, Fortitude DC 15, incubation period 1d3 days, damage 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Con. The save DC is constitution based.
Belch (Ex): Every 1d4 rounds a Rat Queen can eject out 1d4+1 Dire Rats, in the squares adjacent if possible, and if not the nearest squares determined randomly. For every rat produced roll a d6, and on a 6 the creature has either the spellwarped or the horrid template, roll to determine which.
Death Throes (Ex): On death the Rat Queen releases 2d4+2 rats, each with a half chance of having a template.Last edited by Dumbledore lives; 2010-09-12 at 10:20 PM.

Re: [3.5 Monster] Rat Queen
A lot of those templates seem like they were just grabbed out of thin air. If you're going for a mutation vibe, I'd say go with just a flat 10% chance of having the horrid template from the Eberron Campaign Setting (It's basically dire+)

Re: [3.5 Monster] Rat Queen
Or why not make it so 1/6th of the rats have templates, but those templates are always either dire or horrid.

Re: [3.5 Monster] Rat Queen
It has too many feats. It should have 4 feats for 10 HD.
P.E.A.C.H. Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly. Being nicer and kinder doesn't hurt either. Note I generally only critique 3.5 and Pathfinder material.
Please, please, please when using non-core material, cite to the books. There are too many books to wade through to find the one with the feat, special ability or spell you use.

Re: [3.5 Monster] Rat Queen
Iron will (about at the point where it would matter most, since fortitude is already high and reflex is too low to matter that much. Possibly improved natural armor.
