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.
Cling
Swarming Bites (concentrate, manipulate) — Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 7d6 piercing damage (DC 31 Fortitude save). A creature that fails its save against Swarming Bites becomes Clumsy 1 for 1 round. If the creature attempts a concentrate or manipulate action while affected, it must succeed at a DC 5 Flat check or the action is lost; roll the check after spending the action, but before any effects are applied.
