description: 'Most smaller species of leeches do not tend to swarm, but brood leeches
  are prone to gathering in seething, undulant mats of squirming gluttony. When they
  gather in sufficient numbers to swarm, they eschew the stealth of a lone leech''s
  feeding methods in favor of swift and merciless feeding. In these situations, their
  mild venom can affect much larger creatures than their usual prey.
