A clattering mass of dismembered skeletal hands, claws and assorted limbs scuttles across the ground like a moving bony carpet
Skeletal swarms are the remains of pieces cast off of whole skeletons collected together and animated en mass. They scuttle about mindlessly, often lying inert until something passes nearby for them to attack.
A skeletal swarm can be encountered anywhere that necromancers or other practitioners of the dark arts who participate in grave robbing and undead creation are found.
A skeletal swarm attacks as a massive bony wave moving to engulf whatever living creatures are closest and not moving on until they have been reduced to bloody shreds. Due to its unique composition of animated hand and claw bones, the swarm gets its strength bonus added to its swarm attacks.
