Traits
Swarm. The swarm occupies another creature’s space and moves through one-inch gaps. Crave Sweetness. A pound of candy thrown within 20 feet diverts it for ten minutes unless attacked.
Actions
Sugared Bites. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit; 10 (4d4) piercing, or 5 (2d4) while below half hit points. Sticky Spores (Recharge 6). Creatures in a 10-foot cloud make a DC 13 Dexterity save or become restrained until they use an action to scrape away the syrup.
Tactics and roleplaying
The swarm engulfs whoever carries the most sweets and uses spores near water. It flees from open flame and accepts food immediately, making combat optional.
Game Master guidance
This entry is complete for table use. Apply the listed defenses, actions, and encounter behavior directly. If the creature is used outside its original adventure, preserve its surrender trigger and primary motivation so a social solution remains as usable as combat.
