Spider-Horde / Spider-Hordes

Spider-Hordes are a rare formation of an entire colony of spiders, all working together to hunt and capture prey. They often create themselves a body shape made of several hundred layers of spider webbing. The spiders then fill out the “web body” and control it like a puppet.

Spider-Hordes are more aggressive than spiders on their own and will often attempt to hunt prey that spiders would never consume, such as pets, livestock and humanoids.

Spider-Hordes will often attempt to imitate humanoids in order to get closer to their prey. They may even dress their web body in discarded humanoid clothing in order to better blend in.

Spider-Hordes webbing body is flammable, causing all Spider-Hordes to be Vulnerable to Burn Damage.

Effect: The creature is capable of sharing spaces with creatures of the same species.

Attacks made vs one of the creatures in this space can be absorbed by any creature in that space unless the Attack was a Targeted Attack.

When 6 or more Creatures of the same species occupy the same space they form a Swarm.

While functioning as a swarm all creatures in the swarm combine HP into 1 Pool.

Individuals cannot be targeted in the swarm without the use of a Targeted Attack.

The swarm has Resistance to the Damage dealt by any Non-Area Attacks that target them.

The swarm may occupy the same space as other creatures. 

The swarm does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

(Total of 100 spiders. Each individual spider is a Level .01 and has .10 HP, .10 Armor Points and deals .10 Puncture Damage on Hits.)

The creature can attack multiple ways in rapid succession.

Effect: The Creature can make a total of 2 attacks per turn, regardless of what type.

When the swarm moves adjacent to a creature or occupies the same space as a creature the swarm may target them with an attack, they may attack as many creatures as they are able while following this rule. 

The swarm can deal a maximum of 10 Damage per Swarming Attack and may divide that damage as they see fit between as many attacks as they are able to make and successfully hit. The damage distribution must be decided before rolling the attack(s).
