OVERVIEW
No one reason will result in spells going wild like this and becoming living beings. Sometimes it is a botched casting, other times wild magic area or just the target making their save. All are at least average rodent level intelligence, unless otherwise noted. Hostility level varies greatly but only a very few will be helpful(but not unknown). Most also fly unless otherwise noted.

2 Inflict Minor Wounds
One of the non-fliers, moves about 40 ft a min. slithering on the ground as a black irregulr square. It will slither up anyliving thing that it can catch.Will do damage as long sword(no save) as previous wounds of the target open up. Only killed by cure spells. Low Hit points.
