A Swarm of Bats is a disorienting, screeching mass of leathery wings and snapping teeth. They are used as a weapon by vampires and certain dark ritualists who can command them. Disturbing a colony in an enclosed space without torchlight is a death sentence for the unprepared. Follows the Swarm Rules.
