Rathound King Lair is a location in Lower Caves.

Description

It's the lair of the eponymous Rathound King. It is located directly south of Camp Hathor, and not even very far away. Only a few large rathound packs are between the camp and lair.

The rathound king is an expert trapper. You'll have to make your way through a dark, dense minefield and a labyrinth filled with mines and other traps in order to reach his throne room. High Perception/Detection or Traps skill is extremely helpful here.
