Homebrew Swarm Species Details
A swarm of insects connected to a hive mind which assimilate other insects into the swarm to grow and do different things. A swarm is made up of thousands of insects some all the same species others almost all different. The hive mind is created through wild magic coalescing nearby a nest of bugs. The magic draws the bugs to it and spreads through the nest creating a bigger and bigger hive mind until stopping around the size of a medium size creature.
