Darkling

"They must know it was the rats; the slithering, scurrying rats whose scampering will never let me sleep; the daemon rats that race behind the padding in this room and beckon me down to greater horrors than I have ever known; the rats they can never hear; the rats, the rats in the walls."

He may not be a rat but he has a certain rodent-like aspect and was immediately put in mind of "The Rats in the Walls". The creature is based on the nasty subterranean horrors in the movie "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark".

EDIT: Some minor changes. Spent a little time on the forehead, eyes and nose</sub>
