Bestiary | Monsters | Mite | Special Abilities | Vermin Empathy
This ability functions as a
druid's wild
empathy, save that a mite can only use this ability on vermin. A mite gains a +4 racial bonus on this check. Vermin are normally mindless, but this empathic communication imparts on them a modicum of implanted intelligence, allowing mites to train Medium vermin and use them as mounts.
Vermin empathy treats swarms as if they were one creature possessing a single mind—a mite can thus use this ability to
influence and direct the actions of swarms with relative ease.
