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.

Attacks and abilities[edit | edit source]

Notes[edit | edit source]

Upon approaching the swarm of cranium rats at the Morphic Pool Dock the  Emperor will comment on them, saying:
- Cranium rats - they swarm when an elder brain is near. We must be close to its hiding place.
- Beware, a solitary rat may be trivial, but a swarm is dangerous.
