Wharf Rat

The Wharf Rat is one of the enemies found in Darkest Dungeon II. It is part of the Fisherfolk faction.

Description
The Wharf Rat is an enemy in the Fisherfolk faction, found only in the Shroud. The Wharf Rat is a relatively weak, common enemy, having more tools for annoyance than killing. It resembles a shirtless man with belt buckled pants, covered in barnacles. The most notable feature, of course, is the Jellyfish-like things attached to it's head and seemingly disintegrating or even preserving it's skull, with tentacles wrapped around the upper body to stay attached.

Strategy
Wharf Rats are essentially the goons of the Fisherfolk faction. Being able to Stealth is generally the biggest threat of them, as they can stall out a fight you could otherwise finish quicker. Attacks that remove or pierce stealth are helpful but moving them forward to leave Briny Spray range can work just as well. They are very low priority threats, and their biggest strength is mostly keeping more threatening units in the ranks for them to attack.
