Carrion-Shrike Swarm - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Carrion-Shrike Swarm

Soldiers in the Grey Cinders fear the Carrion-Shrike more than the enemy's arrows. They are seen as omens of a lost cause. Tales say the first shrikes were born from the spilled blood of a traitorous king, cursed to never again taste anything but the fruit of betrayal.

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 bird. The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.
Blood Scent. The swarm has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to locate any creature that has taken damage within the last 10 minutes.
Oily Plumage. The swarm has advantage on saving throws against being set on fire or affected by magical heat.
Iron-Scented Frenzy. The swarm has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.
Beaks and Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm's space. Hit: 21 () piercing damage, or 10 () piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.
Whirlwind of Feathers. The swarm beats its wings violently. Each creature in the swarm's space must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn. On a failure, the creature also takes 7 () slashing damage from the sharp, oily feathers.
Metallic Echo (Recharge 5 - 6). The swarm emits a coordinated, shrill screech that mimics the sound of clashing swords. Each creature within 20 feet of the swarm must make a Wisdom saving throw or be Incapacitated until the end of its next turn as the sound rattles their mind.
Scatter. When the swarm is targeted by a ranged attack, it can use its reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack by momentarily thinning its density.
