I’m doing a campaign that currently revolves around lycanthropy. I have all the were-monsters lined up for the party to fight except for the CR2 Werebat. My party is made up of seven level 7’s going on 8. (Yes I know, the party is too huge; our normal DM puts up with it, and I didn’t want anyone feeling left out. It’s worth noting my campaign is sort of the backup campaign to our normal one, so it may occur when some people can’t make the normal one.)
Obviously, it would be ridiculous to fight too few or too many of these at once, so my idea was to make it i to a swarm, but I’ve never done such a thing before. Can I get some guidance?
If you're looking for stat help, Homebrew forum probably is more helpful.
If you have the 2024 Monster Manual, they have swarms of Dretches and such other things. If you check that out, there's probably something there that could help you. I imagine that you can raise the CR, the size, add the stuff typical to swarms like resistances, swarm attacks, and other swarm things, you'll get something resembling a typical swarm.
It's just combining typical swarm and typical lycanthrope features.

Oops. Sorry.
I’ll try looking up Dretches and see what I can do.
