Abilities
Precise Tremorsense 40 feet — The cobbleswarm's tremorsense is a precise sense out to 40 feet and an imprecise sense out to 80 feet. The cobbleswarm can't sense anything beyond the range of its tremorsense.
Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.

WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / SUBTERRANEANA frontline body can pin melee combatants at the swarm's edge so more of them stay caught in the difficult terrain and area damage.
CrasherLAND / SUBTERRANEANA hard-hitting melee brute can finish off foes already knocked prone by the grasping ground.
FlankerLAND / SUBTERRANEANA mobile striker can freely reposition through allies while enemies stuck in the difficult terrain struggle to pursue.
PUNISHES
✖ standing still✖ clumping✖ melee reliance
Avoid stacking with other area-denial zones; overlapping difficult terrain and damage can also bog down allies.
