Rat Swarm – Terror in the Sewers

Surging Vermin Tide – The Gnawing Swarm

Beast (Swarm, Monstrosity)

Curling into a living wave of chittering teeth, claws, and tangled tails, this mass of ravenous rodents crashes across the battlefield with relentless momentum. Dozens of overlapping vermin surge upward into a cresting apex, ready to engulf anything in their forward path. Keepers seeking an overwhelming environmental hazard, cellar infestation, or sewer boss minion will find an Artifact that delivers immediate kinetic dread to the grid.

Tabletop Lore

In the forgotten depths beneath decaying cities, solitary rodents gather into a singular, ravenous consciousness driven purely by insatiable hunger. Flowing like black water through cracked drainage pipes and crumbling crypt floors, the vermin tide sweeps over barricades and living prey alike. Those caught beneath the churning mass find armor useless against hundreds of needle-sharp teeth seeking every exposed gap.

Highlight
