Abilities
Bonesense (Imprecise) 30 feet — A bone skipper swarm identifies bones and creatures with a skeletal system in the listed range.
Swarm Mind — This monster doesn't have a single mind (typically because it's a swarm of smaller creatures), and is immune to mental effects that target only a specific number of creatures. It is still subject to mental effects that affect all creatures in an area.
Marrow Rot (disease) — Marrow rot affects only creatures with a skeletal system

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AERIALA frontline body holds a corridor and keeps foes adjacent while the swarm spreads its area bites across everyone crowded in.
SniperLAND / AERIALA ranged attacker can finish off targets who break away from the swarm's space rather than closing into melee.
WeaverLAND / AERIALA caster lays down control while the swarm punishes anyone who stays clumped up trying to avoid it.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ precision reliance✖ melee reliance
Avoid stacking with another area-denial threat occupying the same space; redundant zone control blurs positioning decisions.
