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 crab. 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 does not have all its hit points.
Salt Camouflage. While the swarm remains motionless in salt flats or sandy terrain, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.
Bites and Stings. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm's space. Hit: 10 () piercing damage, or 5 () piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or be Poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way, the creature's speed is halved. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Hunker Down. When the swarm takes damage from a weapon attack, it can hunker its individual members into their shells, gaining a bonus to AC against that attack.
