Chung's FleshChunk Bait

A dense, glistening chunk of raw meat, darker at the edges where it was recently severed from human remains. Weng-Chiang hurls it through the rusted metal grill to the roiling mass of giant rats below, their wet clicking growing frenzied as they scent fresh prey despite knowing their master tosses scraps only to assert dominance. The rats tear at it with jagged teeth, drawing bursts of dark fluid onto the laboratory’s filthy stone floor. Serves as both visual bait to reinforce control and practical sustenance for the sewer rat army maintaining Weng-Chiang's lair.

Significance
