You summon rats or ratfolk that appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. Choose one of the following options for what appears:

• One mildly hostile Wererat (CR 2), which does not obey your verbal commands but might defend itself.
• One Ratfolk Rogue (CR 1).
• Four Swarm of Rats or four Ratfolk (CR 1/4).
• Eight Giant Rat (CR 1/8).
• Sixteen normal Rat (CR 0).

Each rat disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The summoned rats are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned rats as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you), except the wererat. If you don’t issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures but otherwise take no actions. The GM has the creatures’ statistics.
