Spook
8 Wounds, Pistols or Rifles.
1 appearing.
Black cars with tinted windows. Back rooms with doors bolted from the outside. Stakeouts under the cover of night. Woe to those who incur the wrath of the US government. Spooks hail from the Capitol and answer to a shadowy figure known only as The Chief. They never sleep and they’re ever-watchful.
Goon
3 Wounds, Weapons.
d3 appearing.
A broken bone. A busted lip. A black eye. Paltry distractions for the real hurt you’ll be undertaking. 1:6 chance a Goon turns out to be a rat working with the Coppers.
For every 3 Goons. A 6 Wounds Enforcer is present.
Enforcer
6 Wounds, Weapons.
A truly terrifying individual. Not even the Boss compares to the cold stare and the bloody curl of the lip. Enforcers are often targets of Goons that turn out to be rats.

d66 appearing, rolling again and combining results if doubles are rolled (e.g. 22, 33, 44, etc.).
Wharf Rat
From parts unknown they came—chittering, squeaking hordes secreted away in crates and barrels on long-haul freighters. To this land they came, and they flourished.
For every 10 Rats, a 2 Wounds buck is present. If 30+ are present, a 4 Wounds buck is there.
Wharf Rats originating from the Chambers Street Wharf possess a sleek black coat and webbed feet. If more than 100 are present, they have a Rat King in their midst.
Sewer Rat
Since the days of Luc du Lac they have been here—in the streets, in the alleyways, and in the sewers. They grow to terrible proportions, feeding on the waste of New Babylon.
For every 5 Sewer Rats, a 4 Wounds buck is present. If 10+ are present, a 6 Wounds buck is there.
Rat King
5d6 Wounds, Teeth and Claws.
A grotesque assemblage of Rats conjoined by their tails. Yokum’s American Museum may well pay good money for a specimen—dead or alive.
