Lia pounced on the rat, pinning it to the ground with her claws before biting into it and covering it with modeling wax. She was surprised by just how…small it seemed now. Whereas before she had been about the same size as the rats, she was now about double their size, easily able to pin one to the ground.
She dripped a drop of venom onto it, then checked out her options.
Based on your abilities and the abilities of Fearful Rat, the following options are available for conversion. Please pick one:
Swarm Drone: The Swarm Drone is an all-purpose worker, the backbone of any swarm. It does not have much combat potential, but instead excels in doing menial tasks such as moving resources from one place to another or processing resources into modeling wax. Coordinates especially well with other Swarm Drones.
Swarm Burrower: The Swarm Burrower is specialized in digging and converting earth and stone to “nest” material, allowing for the creation of sturdier dwellings. Lacks combat potential, and is inefficient at converting organic matter to modeling wax
Lesser Swarm Foot Soldier: A Swarm Foot Soldier is a swarm’s first line of offense and defense. While not particularly special on their own, they make up for it with exceptional teamwork, supporting more distinguished members of the swarm in whatever way they can. Furthermore, the Swarm Foot Soldier is highly efficient at converting slain enemies into modeling wax, and will automatically seek to cover disabled opponents in modeling wax.
Should no other member of the swarm capable of converting their target do so within five minutes of the target being completely covered in modeling wax, and they receive no other orders, they will carry the target back to the nearest safe point. Should they be unable to do so, they will safeguard the target or convert it to a Swarm Drone or Swarm Foot Soldier at their discretion.
Lesser Rat Relay: A Rat Relay is a highly specialized member of a swarm, dedicated purely to improving the capabilities of nearby Rat Aristocracy (such as Rat Queens). Rat Relays are nearly immobile and are unable to do much on their own, but instead count as ten rats for the purpose of abilities which scale in power based on nearby rats.
Lesser Rat Baroness (Requirements not met): A Rat Baroness is the weakest of the Rat Aristocracy, created by more powerful members of the Rat Aristocracy. The Rat Baroness has only barely begun to manifest the mental magic that the upper Rat Aristocracy use, but has physical capabilities on par with their greater counterparts. Requirement: 2 rats in the same cocoon. Missing: 1
