For purposes of such spells, the swarm is a single creature of the magical beast type. ### Merge Swarms (Ex) Two lesser cranium rat packs can move into the same space and merge into a single swarm, becoming an average pack. Likewise, two average packs can merge together into a greater pack. Merging in this fashion is a full-round action. ### Mind Blast (Su) This attack is a 60-foot cone. Anyone caught in this cone must succeed on a Will save (DC 23) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. A greater pack can use this ability at will. Spells (Sp): A greater pack can cast arcane spells as a 10th-level sorcerer (spells/day 6/7/7/7/6/3; spells known 9/5/4/3/2/1; save DC 14 + spell level). A typical spells known list: 0 - dancing lights, daze, detect magic, flare, ghost sound, mage hand, open/close, prestidigitation, read magic; 1st - charm person, expeditious retreat, magic missile, ray of enfeeblement, shocking grasp; 2nd - blur, knock, mirror image, see invisibility; 3rd - fireball, lightning bolt, slow; 4th - contagion, fire shield; 5th - hold monster. ### Swarm Regeneration (Ex) When a greater cranium rat pack is reduced to 0 hit points, it does not scatter. Instead, it becomes an average pack. Likewise, when an average pack is reduced to 0 hp, it becomes a lesser pack. When a lesser pack is reduced to 0 hp, it is destroyed. This transformation is instantaneous. #### ecology **Advancement** — A greater pack of cranium rats consists of about 300 rats.
