Cifal
Medium natural magical beast (swarm)
Level 8 Elite Controller XP 700

Traits

☼ Biting Swarm ✦ Aura 1

Any enemy that ends its turn in the aura takes 5 damage.

Flowing Mass

The cifal ignores difficult terrain.

Swarm

The cifal can occupy the same space as another creature, and an enemy can enter its space, which is difficult terrain. The cifal cannot be pulled, pushed, or slid by melee or ranged attacks. It can squeeze through any opening that is large enough for at least one of the creatures it comprises.
