Whippoorwill Piranha Swarm
Level 2Abilities
The piranha swarm can smell blood in the water from up to 1 mile away.
This monster doesn't have a single mind (typically because it's a swarm of smaller creatures), and is immune to mental effects that target only a specific number of creatures. It is still subject to mental effects that affect all creatures in an area.
Each enemy in the swarm's space takes (2d6-2) piercing damage (DC 18 reflex save). A creature that fails the save also takes 1d6 bleed and takes a -2 circumstance penalty to their Reflex saves against Feeding Frenzy while this damage continues, as the piranhas' frenzy increases in intensity when they smell blood.
Description
More teeth and fury than body, few fish command as much fear and anxiety as the piranha. They move almost exclusively in schools, overwhelming larger creatures with sheer numbers and ferocity. Piranhas aggress toward sudden disturbances in the water and can smell blood from far away. Harvested piranha teeth serve as excellent cutting tools.
Swimming in vast shoals through open ocean underneath the sparkling sun, lurking deep in the muddy beds of rivers, or schooling in pristine lakes, fish are found nearly anywhere there is water.
