Dire Rat (Summoned)
These large rodents are endemic in dungeons and ruins everywhere. They are universally reviled and driven out by civilized races and used as watchdogs and pets by the less civilized. A dire rat looks like a very large rat, easily two feet long and weighing upwards of twenty-five pounds. They are frequently dirty and are known to carry disease.
Combat Tactics
Dire rats are animals, but they have a surprising amount of wisdom. Their tactics usually boil down to 'charge and bite' or 'flank and power attack.' If they have inflicted a good number of bites, dire rats are perfectly willing to flee and come back in a few days to see what's died from their filth fever. They will attempt to withdraw and use their surprisingly good stealth skill to escape.
