Homebrew Entoform Species Details
Created through science, arcane arts, or curses, Entoform are a sentient hive mind of insects. Though they often assume humanoid shapes, these enigmatic beings possess the ability to manipulate the constituent insects of their form, allowing them to take on many of other shapes as well. Notably, Entoforms do not necessarily need to be composed solely of a single species of insect.
