Compsognathus Swarm

Creature 3 — animal, dinosaur, swarm

Though a curious lone compsognathus is occasionally known to sneak into an adventurer's camp, they're often scouting from a nearby pack potentially containing dozens of the tiny bipedal dinosaurs. If the pack is threatened—especially near a nesting site—they'll scurry about in self-defense. Despite their large numbers, the swarm can dart away from danger quickly, and their gnashing teeth carry the threat of venom to anyone who comes too close.
