The D'ivers Rats first manifest in Deadhouse Gates as a vast, collective swarm that moves with eerie, unified purpose across the Raraku desert. Their appearance marks one of the earliest explicit demonstrations of the D'ivers shape-shifting phenomenon, where multiple bodies share a single consciousness. Throughout the series, these rats serve as both a haunting presence and a subtle reminder of the primal, animalistic forces that underpin the Malazan world's magic and power structures.
