Cranium Rat

Category: Magical Beast / Swarm

Description

Oversized, mutated rodents with exposed, glowing, pulsating brains protruding from their skulls.

Abilities

• Hive-Mind Telepathy & Psionics: A single cranium rat is barely smarter than a normal rat, but as they gather in swarms, their processing power and magical abilities scale exponentially. A massive swarm can cast complex mind magic and coordinate with terrifying tactical precision.

Lore

Often found infesting the upper layers of the Dungeon and city sewers. They are frequently bred, controlled, or used as spies by dark mages and invaders due to their collective intelligence.
