Traits

Disperse. If the swarm takes damage from an attack to which they are vulnerable (see above), the swarm will disperse for 1 minute, after which they resume the attack (usually counts as a new encounter), unless they are less than 1/4 strength. Dispersing a pixil swarm does not award XP unless they do not resume the attack. While dispersed, they cannot be attacked.

Magic Resistance. Template:SRD52trait The swarm has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Swarm. Template:SRD52trait The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny 1 inch creature. The swarm can’t regain Hit Points or gain Temporary Hit Points. 

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft.; all creatures in the swarm's space. Hit: 10 (4d4) piercing damage, or 5 (2d4) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer. The target bit must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks for 10 minutes; on a successful save the effect lasts only until the end of the target's next turn.
