ACTIONS

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.


Variant: Diseased Giant Rats

Some giant rats carry vile diseases that they spread with their bites. A diseased giant rat has a challenge rating of 1/8 (25 XP) and the following action instead of its normal bite attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or contract a disease. Until the disease is cured, the target can't regain hit points except by magical means, and the target's hit point maximum decreases by 3 (1d6) every 24 hours. If the target's hit point maximum drops to 0 as a result of this disease, the target dies.

gollark: It shouldn't do redirects. Ever.
gollark: No, it's Esowiki's fault.
gollark: Now, my crawler thing's HTTP client followed the request, but didn't note it, so it accidentally indexed a bunch of Wikipedia while thinking it was Esowiki.
gollark: I figured out the problem! Esowiki is being stupid and for some reason you can link to `Wikipedia:Whatever` and it links to Wikipedia.
gollark: Okay, mystery solved! Ish! Not really! It's crawling the links to nonexistent pages and fetching them anyway.
