Vermin1 are mindless living creatures, predominantly invertebrates. They cannot speak and have no magic abilities. There are many different types of vermin, including insects, arachnids, worms, and arthropods.2

On Golarion

Vermin that lived near the open Worldwound were often corrupted by its demonic energies, with some giant vermin becoming awakened in the process.3 Deskari, demon lord of locusts, often took special interest in corrupted vermin, and both the lord and his followers could communicate directly with them.4

The green hag known as the Mother of Flies was so named for being shrouded in vermin that she could command.5
