Special Abilities

Pummel (Ex) When a Swarm escutchide hits with its gore attack, it deals normal damage. If the attack roll result equals or exceeds the target’s KAC + 4, the escutchide can either knock the target prone or move the target 5 feet in any direction. Swarm Mind (Ex) Members of the Swarm are bound together into a singular hive mind by a blend of exuded pheromones, imperceptible movements of antennae and limbs, electrostatic fields, and telepathic communication. All Swarm creatures within 30 feet of each other are in constant communication; if one is aware of a threat, all are. (Such awareness can spread along a “chain” of Swarm creatures under appropriate circumstances, potentially alerting distant Swarm creatures). In addition, once per round when within 30 feet of another Swarm creature, a Swarm creature can roll twice and take the better result on a saving throw against a mind-affecting effect.
