Skavenslaves, also known as Slave Rats or Clanrat Slaves are the most lowly individuals of all the Skaven race. Standing a stunted four feet tall, Skavenslaves form the largest bulk of the Skaven swollen population. They are usually born in this manner, barely holding out through a cruel, abused childhood and, being of little value, is simply shoved into forced labor. Living past any more than a handful of years is quite a cursed accomplishment. Skavenslaves are also always swelling with captured or defeated Clanrats demoted in their loss and shoved into the lowly ranks. Almost all slaves die as slaves.[2a]
