Version: 0.1.0-pre-alpha

Plague Rats roam the Caustic Slopes in packs of three to five. Each one dies quickly, but they are fast, and they look after each other: attack one and every rat within eight blocks comes running. Outrun them by a good distance and they give up.

Where a Pesta is near, more will come, though rats it summons crumble away after a while.

Behaviour

  • Packs of 3 to 5.
  • A hit alarms every rat within 8 blocks.
  • Gives up the chase past 18 blocks.
