In Warhammer there are 5 great Chaos Gods, but you certainly do not want their blessings

The Horned Rat

Probably still unknown to many, but the Horned Rat is the newest official Chaos god and partially shares her domain with Nurgle. She represents disease, disorder, and decay, but refrains from the blooming life like her generous counterpart.

Warhammer

The Horned Rat is a Chaos god that can be found exclusively in Age of Sigmar. She does not appear in Warhammer 40,000. This is because she is the god of the Skaven, the ratmen from the original Warhammer Fantasy – and is only worshipped by them.

Although the Horned Rat is a very new god and has only recently ascended to the pantheon, she already has her own demons, the Verminlords. Some scholars in the world suspect that the Horned Rat and the lesser Chaos god Kweethul are the same entity.

Accordingly, there are no real blessings that you can receive through the worship of the Rat as a human. However, the god grants her children the power to wield magic – and only through the Horned Rat are the Skaven even able to do so.

The Horned Rat drives the Skaven to prepare for their “ascension” to subjugate the world and all other races. To this end, she has various “aspects” with their own properties, which are worshipped by different clans, such as the Wailing Broodfather, the Whip-tailed Conqueror, or the Murdershadow.
