Hello, I have questions to create a swarm that walks with a worm that walks and other existing swarms.
You can turn an existing evil, living, spellcasting creature into a worm that walks
A worm that walks loses any abilities that came from its previous physical form and any traits that represent its life, such as human and humanoid. It retains any spellcasting abilities it had in life, regardless of their origin, and gains the abilities listed below.
Fast Healing, Resistances, Weakness with the HD
Darkvision
Tremorsense 30 feet (imprecise)
Immunities disease, paralyzed, poison, precision, and unconscious. Swarm mind ability, which makes them immune to mental effects that target a specific number of creatures, though they are still subject to mental effects that affect all creatures in an area.
All-Around Vision
Discorporate
Tendril
Squirming Embrace [one-action] {Is it in the two shapes : humanoid, swarm ?
Swarm Shape [one-action] (concentrate)
Other Walking Vermin
Cockroaches: A worm that walks made of cockroaches gains a +1 bonus to AC and light blindness.
Leeches: A worm that walks made of leeches gains a swim Speed of 25 feet, but its land Speed is 10 feet.
Spiders: A worm that walks made of spiders gains a climb Speed equal to half its land Speed, and half the damage from its Squirming Embrace is poison damage.
Army ant swarm
Cling [reaction] Trigger A creature leaves the swarm's space; Effect The swarm takes 1d6 damage as ants cling to the creature and continue biting, dealing 3d6 persistent piercing damage. High winds or immersion in water reduces the DC of the flat check to end this persistent damage to 5. Any area damage dealt to the creature destroys these clinging ants.
Swarming Bites [one-action] Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 3d6 piercing damage (DC 21 basic Fortitude save). A creature that fails its save against Swarming Bites becomes clumsy 1 for 1 round. If the creature attempts a concentrate or manipulate action while affected, it must succeed at a DC 5 flat check or the action is lost; roll the check after spending the action, but before any effects are applied.
The king of biting Ants
Squirming Embrace [one-action] The King of Biting Ants Strides to a creature, ends his movement sharing a space with it, and deals 3d8 piercing damage and 3d8 poison damage to it (DC 39 basic Reflex save). A creature that fails this save also takes 2d8 persistent piercing damage.
Swarming Bites While a creature is taking persistent piercing damage from the King of Biting Ants's tendril Strike or Squirming Embrace, or while within a visions of danger area that it has not disbelieved, it is also clumsy 1. If the creature attempts a concentrate or manipulate action while affected, it must succeed at a DC 5 flat check or the action is lost; roll the check after spending the action, but before any effects are applied.
1/For swarming bites and squirming embrace from the king, does it come from swarming bites and cling of army ant ?
