I got to thinking how good it would be if wizards released minis in nonrandom encounter packs with all monsters visible, and maybe a couple of dungeon tiles to boot.
It would be cool to see some kind of "Rat Pack" including:
4 Giant Rat minions
1 Rat Swarm
2 Dire Rats
1 Were-Rat
...and some kind of sort of elite...
That brings me to this idea:
*edit*
fixed the defenses a little

If the Rat King has at least one claw, the Rat King loses a claw (chosen at random) and regains 15 hit points.
The Rat King can not use this power if it has no claws remaining.
