Swarming

A ysoki can end their movement in the same square as an ally that also has this ability. Only two such creatures can share the same space.

The bone mother—a warren's oracle—cuts an imposing figure. Bone mothers can be any gender despite the name, wearing the skull of a giant rat and covering their clothing in dangling bones. When a member of the warren dies, they gift a bone (usually a finger bone) to the oracle, who exists as both a physical repository of those who came before and a living history of their warren.

Ysoki (or, as outsiders call them, ratfolk) in their warrens have a society that is both stern and democratic, caring and ever vigilant. And at the top is a handful of intimidating and protective figures who make sure the swarm remains safe.
