Yeah, this has been happening with other types of vermin too. I thought it was expected behavior when I saw it with bats (it looks awesome), but rats... not so much.

This is odd, at first I chalked it up to FPS improvements, etc.

They do have the same [SPEED] rates since 40d.

Does [BODY_SIZE] affect [SPEED]?

Unsure about body size... Seems unlikely though.

I'm not sure the RAWs have anything to do with it though, because it only happens occasionally. 98% of vermin are normal speed, but that 2% are just too fast... I've had this occurrence about 3 times now.

It's possible that this rat didn't have its caste set properly - currently, attempting to create a vermin using a custom reaction will result in this same behavior.

A save with one of these vermin on screen would be appreciated.
