Origin: The North American Labrat was developed by William Penn by crossbreeding the ever hardy Norway rat with English orphans he purchased from Dutch Hebrews. While rooting through the sea chest of one doughty flesh-trader who had ended up on the wrong side of a Delaware tomahawk [designed by Penn] he discovered The Secret History of Yakub, where it was set down that in 5,700 B. C. on the Isle of Patmos, Yakub did first breed the white man to be a hearty laborer—but something went terribly wrong...in any case, somewhat sharper than the elder Yakub, the ever inventive Penn had stumbled upon the fact that white worker rats of the Caucasian kind were so psychologically sensitive that their physicality cold be affected through mere suggestion! [This accounts for the great variety of Habitat Hoodrat fauna.] The secret mental malleability of the white American was now established, its secret to mass mind control held in a locked chest in Philadelphia...

Appearance: The coat of the North American Labrat is generally pale and pinkish, though dappling may occur when crossbred with hoodrats.
