-   Bite has 5% (1-in-20) chance of infecting victim (**Save vs Poison** to avoid).
    -   Disease has 25% (1-in-4) chance of killing victim in 1d6 days, otherwise they are poisoned for 1 month.
-   Will flee from fire, unless summoned and forced to fight.
-   Excels at swimming, may attack without penalty.
-   Usually avoids fighting, but will attack if defending nest or summoned.

### Pack

-   Groups of 5–10 rats attack as a pack, making a single attack against one target.
    -   Victims must **Save vs Death** or fall prone, unable to attack until they stand back up.
