THE NATURE OF SWARMS

The swarms presented here aren't ordinary or benign

assemblies of little creatures. They form as a result of some

sinister or unwholesome influence. A vampire can summon

swarms of bats and rats from the darkest corners of the

night, while the very presence of a mummy lord can cause

scarab beetles to boil up from the sand-filled depths of its

tomb. A hag might have the power to turn swarms of ravens

against her enemies, while a yuan-ti abomination might have

swarms of poisonous snakes slithering in its wake. Even

druids can't charm these swarms, and their aggressiveness

is borderline unnatural.
