The Gloomer
Species: Water Rat Place of Origin: Unknown Gender: Male Weapon: Natural Defenses Death: Killed by Stormfin
Books Appears: Mossflower

The Gloomer was an enormous, frightening, mindless black water rat that lived in the underground lake of Kotir and was controlled by Tsarmina and her army. Verdauga captured and imprisoned him long ago. He was used as a sort of attack animal to fight the wildcat's enemies and met his demise upon battling the vicious Stormfin, an enormous pike, in the River Moss.

The Gloomer was blind and hard of hearing, but had enhanced smell. He did not exhibit self-consciousness and was veritably insane from many seasons of imprisonment in the dark lake.
