Ecology
Grimmlet Swarm is a collective of small creatures behaving as one, drawn to scent, sound, or warmth in numbers. It is most often found in badlands regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Grimmlet Swarm is a single drive amplified by numbers — feed, defend, breed. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Grimmlet Swarm is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
