A Rat King is a living knot of rats whose tails have become bound by pitch, ice, hair, or old blood. The mass moves as a single distressed animal, dragging refuse and whispering through dozens of throats. Ordinary rats gather around it as though receiving orders. Destroying the knot ends that influence, but fire and panic can scatter an entire infected colony through the surrounding streets.
Special Attack
Swarming Command: up to three ordinary rats or one nearby rat swarm immediately moves and attacks a target chosen by the Rat King. Its own bite uses 1d8+2.
Special Defense
Cut the Knot: a creature beside the Rat King may spend a round cutting tangled tails and make a Dexterity Chance Roll. Two successes prevent Swarming Command and reduce its DR to 0.
