Scorpion Swarm
CR 3 N Vermin<\/strong>
Moving in a wave is a cluster of hundreds of tiny scorpions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scorpion swarms are somewhat rarer than swarms of other vermin, perhaps because scorpions are frequently cannibalistic and territorial. Large swarms of scorpions can form when the creatures are kept docile through magic or chemical means, or under the influence of gods of nature and venom. A scorpion swarm can also be used to represent a mass of juvenile giant scorpions, as scorpions often carry their young on their back to transport them to food sources. If food is scarce, such juvenile swarms will eat their own mother before turning on each other, and only a small number of the swarm survives to adulthood even under good conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
