Description

Kamikaze rats. they charge their enemies to attack, and explode on impact, stunning all within range for a moment. Goblins, assassins, cultists, and the like, will send these rats out against their enemies to slow them down and to gain an advantage over them, even going as far as shooting their own pets once near their opponents to trigger their explosive cloud. due to the poisonous gasses that are bloating the rats, they move a bit slower than a normal large rat would, allowing a PC with a keen eye to spot from a distance (if they are being perceptive).
