A swarm of biting rats overwhelms a room in seconds, and every wound risks spreading a filthy, lingering plague.
commonAnimalSwarm
A swarm of rats can cause total chaos within a household or business. Contracting putrid plague is all the easier when dozens of these agitated or hungry vermin gather to bite victims en masse, making rat-hunting a viable career in many parts of the world as desperate townspeople seek relief from the disease's spread.

Abilities
- Swarming Bites [Single Action] Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 1d6 piercing damage and must attempt a DC 17 basic Reflex save. A creature that fails its save is exposed to putrid plague. Rats and Disease Rats have a reputation of being vicious, aggressive animals that attack food stores in great numbers and spread disease. While rats are immune to the most severe effects of their own putrid plague, the disease makes them unpredictable and aggressive. Some populations of rats carry even more deadly diseases, such as bubonic plague.
