Nanoshard Swarm
Creature 9 — elemental, metal, swarm
This bizarre entity is actually a massive collective consisting of tens of thousands of constituent parts, each a tiny metal sphere barely the size of a pebble. Controlled by a single elemental spirit, the swarm is capable of flowing like liquid through the smallest openings before shaping itself into a powerful combatant, a solid wall, or any other form circumstances might require.

Abilities
Swarm Mind — Swarm Mind
Electromagnetic Dispersal — When a nanoshard swarm takes electricity damage, they automatically shift into swarm form.
Barrier Form (concentrate, polymorph) — A single 5-foot-by-5-foot section of the wall can be destroyed by dealing 18 points of damage to it, which also reduces the swarm's total Hit Points. A nanoshard swarm can't be knocked Prone or forcibly moved while in barrier form, nor can it voluntarily move. A nanoshard swarm in barrier form can originate tendril attacks from any square of its wall.
Battle Form (concentrate, polymorph) — Melee 1 limb (reach 20 feet), Damage 4d8+9 bludgeoning
Engulf (Swarm Form) — DC 27 Reflex, 2d8+6 bludgeoning damage, , Rupture 18
Engulf
Swarm Form (concentrate) — The nanoshard swarm collapses into its natural form: a Huge sea of tiny metal spheres. It drops anything it's holding. While in swarm form, the nanoshard swarm's Speed is 25 feet, it can move through any area large enough for a single sphere to fit through without having to Squeeze, and it gains Engulf.
