Maggot Swarm
- Type: Medium swarm of beasts
- Challenge Rating: 2
- Alignment: Neutral
Individual maggots can be gross enough. But what if a whole swarm of them appears like a large mass? Most people associate maggots with decay or disease – little creatures that can gnaw through organic matter. Players who are not bothered by the gross-out effect should still be warned. Although the maggot swarm is not a strong opponent, it can infect its victims, blind them, and cause disadvantages on future rolls.
By the way, one is almost nowhere safe from a maggot swarm. As soon as there is a crack where a single maggot can pass through, the swarm will be able to cross it. Best to keep as far away from them as possible.
