Mice are harmless, small rodents that hide in small spaces.
Description[edit]
These rodents are, however, a constant trouble in all places where food is stored. These small animals have a taste for foodstocks and can also cause a hygienic problem. Lots of them can cause real damage to food stores. Thankfully, cats are useful to minimize the damage, since the felines love the taste of mice.
They can be found where food is usually stored. Of note is, some some mice have become aggressive due to sickness and can cause poisoning with their bites.
Lore[edit]
| “ | This timid rodent seldom ventures from its lair except under cover on night, and then only in search of crumbs of food. Cheesemakers are especially wary of the nocturnal activities of these otherwise benign creatures. – from Compendium (Ultima VI)

| “ | This harmless rodent lives on whatever little scraps of food it can find, although it is especially fond of cheese. It occupies the space just beneath the cat on the food chain. – from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)
