CrasherSnareLANDaberrationswarm
When a gibtas gorges itself on an incredible amount of flesh, it vomits up a pool of acid filled with tiny pink egg sacs that burst immediately. The new babies hunt as a pack, growing in size until they go their separate ways or consume each other. This rubbery, spheroid scavenger is nearly all acid-dripping mouth, with five bulbous black eyes and two powerful, gangly legs. A gibtas often forms a bond with a single other creature-usually, a more powerful aberration- and serves this master loyal

Swarming Bites — Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 2d8 piercing plus 1d6 acid{2d8 piercing damage and 1d6 acid damage} (DC 22 Reflex save). A creature that fails its save against Swarming Bites also takes 1d4 persistent acid.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDAnvil occupies the same space as the swarm to compound damage while absorbing single-target attacks that would bypass the swarm's resistances.
SniperLANDSniper picks off enemies that flee the swarm's space, punishing attempts to disengage from the Crasher's zone of persistent damage.
WeaverLANDWeaver forces enemies through the swarm's space or prevents escape, maximizing the ticks of Swarming Bites and persistent acid damage.
