Traits

Swarm

The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny rat. The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Telepathic Shroud

The swarm is immune to any effect that would sense its emotions or read its thoughts, as well as to all divination spells.

Actions

Bites

Melee Weapon Attack +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm's space. 14 () Piercing damage, or 7 () Piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer, plus 22 () Psychic damage.

Bonus Actions

Illumination

The swarm sheds dim light from its brains in a 5-foot radius, increases the illumination to bright light in a 5- to 20-foot radius (and dim light for an additional number of feet equal to the chosen radius), or extinguishes the light.
