About this model
A writhing cluster of oversized brown rats with pink tails and ears, piled on top of each other over a round base. The fur looks mangy and the bodies are fat. The swarm covers about 5 by 3.5 ft, filling a single square, and rises around 3 ft at its highest point.
Use it in sewers, granaries, flooded cellars and ship holds. A swarm occupies its space and moves through gaps other creatures cannot, so let it pour out of drains and holes in the wall. Mark it with hit points like any other token, and add more swarms as the noise draws them.
Ideas for the table
- A merchant's warehouse is infested, and the rats have chewed through the ropes holding his cargo nets.
- In the sewers beneath a city, a rat swarm surges toward the party every time a torch is lit.
- A wererat has been training swarms to steal coins from the market stalls at night.
