Descending with a shriek, a swarm of squirrels is a menace to foes, crawling in and out of pockets and clothing, biting and scratching as it goes. Though squirrels are usually independent, they might form into swarms when cornered or if a predator creates enough of a recurring threat that the little creatures need to gang up.

Abilities
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.
Nibble — Each enemy in the squirrel swarm's space takes 1d6 piercing damage (DC 15 Reflex save).
Scrabbling Swarm — The squirrels clamber over the creatures in their space. Each such creature must succeed at a DC 17 Reflex save or become Clumsy 1 as long as it remains in the swarm's space.

CrasherLAND / VERTICALA melee bruiser draws attention while this swarm's persistent space-based damage and Clumsy condition wear down anyone who stays adjacent.
SniperLAND / VERTICALA ranged attacker keeps dealing full damage while martial strikers struggle against this swarm's resistances.
PUNISHES
✖ melee weapon reliance✖ single-target focus
Avoid grouping with another area-denial hazard; a single burst of area damage threatens both at once given the shared vulnerability.
