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 insect. The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack
rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on
sight when you, the target of your attack, at whatever
you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm's space. Hit: 10 (4d4) piercing damage, or 5 (2d4) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.

A successful attack attaches the swarm to the creature, if the creature moves the swarm moves with it.

Description

Burgons love warmth and hate sunlight thus they are nocturnal, burrowing themselves into the ground to build nests for protection from daylight. Burgons have long stingers that they can flex to have them work as harpoons.

If they find themselves in sunlight they will rush to the nearest and warmest source of shade. This is more often than not a creature. The Burgon swarm will attempt to burrow its' stingers into the shaded portion of the creature with its' stab attack.

Burgons native to the Underdark are far more aggressive, though no stronger, than average Burgons.
