Animated Scale Fragment - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Animated Scale Fragment

According to old hunters, the first Animated Scale Fragments appeared after a beast watched an eclipse through a black-glass lens. Each scale that fell afterward retained a sliver of the creature's predatory instinct. Cultists now harvest these scales and scatter them ahead of their beasts as living caltrops.

Swarm Tactics. The fragment has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one other Animated Scale Fragment is within 5 feet of the creature and the other fragment is not incapacitated.
Pierce Burst. When the fragment is reduced to 0 hit points by a melee attack, the attacker must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2 () piercing damage from exploding metal splinters.
Shard Spray. The fragment sprays razor-edged splinters in a desperate burst. Each creature within 5 feet of the fragment must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 3 () piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fragment can use this trait once, and it cannot use it while grappled or restrained.
Piercing Shard. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 () piercing damage. If another Animated Scale Fragment is within 5 feet of the target, the attack deals 5 () piercing damage instead.
