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 14) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. A lesser cranium rat pack can use this power every 2 rounds. #### ecology **Advancement** — A lesser pack of cranium rats consists of about 75 rats.
