Swarm of Crystalline Ice Mephits

Local tribes call them the Whispering Teeth. They are believed to be the frozen breath of a dying winter god, caught in the moment of expiration and turned into predatory crystal.

False Appearance. While the swarm remains motionless hanging from a surface, it is indistinguishable from ordinary icicles.
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 mephit. The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.
Death Burst. When the swarm dies, it explodes in a burst of jagged ice. Each creature within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 () cold damage and 7 () piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Multiattack. The swarm makes two Crystal Slash attacks.
Crystal Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm's space. Hit: 14 () slashing damage plus 7 () cold damage, or 7 () slashing damage plus 3 () cold damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.
Frost Breath (Recharge 6). The swarm exhales a 15-foot cone of freezing air and crystal dust. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 21 () cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Fractal Refraction. When a creature the swarm can see within 30 feet targets it with a ranged attack, the swarm shifts its crystalline bodies. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on the attack roll as the light splits into confusing patterns.
