Cranium Rats are a type of rat beast found in the Undercity Ruins and its surrounding areas in Act Three. The Netherbrain speaks through the rats in unison.

Combat[edit | edit source]

Cranium Rats are temporarily hostile when wandering too close to the Morphic Pool Dock before obtaining all three Netherstones.

Attacking a Cranium Rat will engage their passive feature Infectious Madness, possibly causing  Confusion in the attacker. This passive will not trigger when attacking with area spells like  Fireball.
