[[Skitter (5e Monster)|Skitter]]s appear as a spherical creature about 1 inch in diameter, covered with 1 inch spiky hair. This "hair" is actually thousands of microscopic tentacles that both allow it to feed, and move by rolling and squeezing through smaller openings.

Skitters are generally harmless and solitary, but if their numbers are not controlled, overpopulation will cause a change in skitters. At this time they will form a dangerous Skitter Swarm. The swarm will move toward the nearest area where the swarm can disperse without overcrowding.

The swarm combines the latent psychic energy of the whole. It unleashes this energy at any creature that may pose a danger to the swarm, or is in its path.

If the swarm is reduced to 0 hit points, it does not mean that all of the skitters have been destroyed. Rather, the remaining skitters disperse (since enough of the skitters have been killed to reduce the population to an acceptable level.

:* Skitter and skitter swarm are a recreation of a creature I designed for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in the late 70's. It was designed to explain how medium and larger creatures could survive in a dungeon with limited logistics to support them.
