Traits
☼ Swarm Attack (necrotic, poison) ✦ Aura 1
Any enemy that starts its turn in the aura takes 5 necrotic and poison damage.
Spawn Wraith
When the cluster kills a living humanoid, that humanoid becomes a wraith figment (Monster Vault, page 287) at the start of the cluster's next turn. The wraith figment appears in the space where the humanoid died or in the nearest unoccupied square, and it rolls a new initiative check. The wraith acts under the Dungeon Master's control.
Swarm
The cluster can occupy the same space as another creature, and an enemy can enter the cluster's space, which is difficult terrain. The cluster cannot be pulled, pushed, or slid by melee or ranged attacks. It can squeeze through any opening that is large enough for a Tiny creature.
