SWARM OF RATS

Swarms of rats are ubiquitous in Barovia. Foul, screeching, pack creatures, they are servants of Strahd and attack his enemies without fear. Skittering their way around the land, they infest abandoned houses and shops. What they lack in size and strength, they more than make up for in number.
