## Traits
***Echolocation.*** The swarm can't use its blindsight while [deafened](rules/conditions.md#deafened).
***Keen Hearing.*** The swarm has advantage on Wisdom ([Perception](rules/skills.md#Perception)) checks that rely on hearing.
***Swarm.*** The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny bat. The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.
## Actions
***Bites.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* `+4` to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm's space. *Hit:* 5 (`2d4`) piercing damage, or 2 (`1d4`) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.Environment
