Given how disgusting many find cockroaches to be, encountering such a swarm can be alarming to even the most seasoned adventurers. The creatures are relentless when disturbed; in contrast to the insects'' normally skittish and harmless nature, as swarms they pursue the creature or creatures that provoked them and harry them with thousands of stinging bites. **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 16' hp: 20 hp_misc: null immunities: - precision - swarm mind items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 16 skills: - Nature languages: null level: 2 melee: null name: Cockroach Swarm perception: 6 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: One Action critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 1d8 piercing damage (DC 18 basic Reflex save). effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Swarming Bites range: null raw_description: '**Swarming Bites** Each enemy in the swarm''s space takes 1d8 piercing damage (DC 18 basic Reflex save).' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null ranged: null rarity: Common resistances: - amount: 2 type: bludgeoning - amount: 5 type: piercing - amount: 5 type: slashing ritual_lists: null saves: fort: 9 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 10 ref_misc: null will: 6 will_misc: null sense_abilities: null senses: - Perception +6 - darkvision - scent (imprecise) 60 feet size: Small skills: - bonus: 8 misc: null name: 'Acrobatics ' - bonus: 8 misc: null name: 'Stealth ' source: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: 53 page_stop: null speed: - amount: 20 type: Land - amount: 20 type: climb - amount: 15 type: fly spell_lists: null traits: - N - Small - Animal - Swarm type: Creature weaknesses: - amount: 5 type: area damage - amount: 5 type: splash damage
