Swarm

The spiderlings move as a single, writhing mass. Their bodies intertwine and crawl over one another, allowing them to occupy the same space as creatures and squeeze through openings that would normally be too small. They are difficult to target individually, their collective motion making them unpredictable and dangerous.

Webbing Control

The swarm can spin sticky webs to restrain intruders. Any creature caught in the tangle must struggle against the vines or remain trapped, giving the swarm and its master a tactical advantage.

Vine Swarm Mobility

The spiderlings move effortlessly through plant-filled or vine-covered terrain, flowing around obstacles like a living carpet of thorns and brambles.

Collective Resilience

The swarm functions as a single entity rather than individual creatures. Damage is absorbed collectively, and even when part of the swarm is destroyed, the remaining spiderlings continue to lash out. This makes them hard to eliminate entirely, representing the relentless, creeping threat of the ward’s corruption.
