The Deep Plague is a faction composed mainly of rats (about 85%), there are also other species such as mice and moles.
Description[]
It is a faction divided into several clans composed mostly of rats that live in city sewers and tunnels excavated by themselves. They make a living by looting, robbing and assassinations to obtain resources and survive in the depths.
They do not appear to be afraid of anything since in many occasions they have been seen to confront the police and the army and even defeat them.
Organización[]
This "faction" practically lacks a single leader and is divided into a multitude of clans with one leader per clan. These clans have their own names and can range from 30 members to over 200. It is estimated that only in Happy Tree Town there are more than 70 clans of this type and these spread all over the world. The members of these clans are organized and have different jobs.

Their vehicles are usually motorcycles and small cars made with pieces of other vehicles taken from some scrapping.
