Combat
A single
compy is more of an annoyance then a threat, however they never travel alone.
There are strength in numbers and they live and die by this. They tend to
overwhelm their target and bite them multiple times, inflicting alot of small
wounds.
A swarm of compsognathus gains a +5 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks.
