- **Swarm**: 8 mylarks can swarm around a target’s head to either cause confusion (-2 to attack rolls and saves, and prevents spellcasting), or drain creature of 1d4 HP.
|
||
- Travel in large groups (1d6 x 10), usually arrange into flocks of 10.
|
||
- Know direction and general distance to nearest psychic sources (typically, sentient creatures, but especially active Pilots).
|
||
- Unless magically summoned or controlled, mylarks check morale every round, with the disengaged ones leaving on a fail.
|
||
|
||
### Alpha
|
||
|
||
Each group of 40 or more is lead by an alpha
|
||
|
||
- HD 2 (9 hp); AC 13; Atk: 1 (+1) @ 1d4 (bite); MV: 10' / 60' flying; ML: 8; XP: 20;
|
||
- Mylarks automatically fail morale when an alpha is killed.
