Sersa V, I went back and forth on the immobility. The main way the myriads show up is in the death throes of other trignotarbs, and (at least in the playtest draft, although I’m still thinking about this one), _lots_ of myriads get created. Giving them movement seemed like it would make them too complicated to run.

The vulnerabilities are another area where I’m torn. The usual swarm vulnerabilities make sense, but the combination of resist 5 all plus the swarm traits becomes pretty complicated. The version above tried to make it simpler, but I’m still not convinced it’s the best solution.

The possession is meant to be an attack and would probably be better worded as one. I may have been seduced by the idea of an aura more than the mechanics. :/

I’m not clear on the movement part. I expect we’ll hear from the designer here in a bit.

I think immobile monsters are neat, but is this intentional or that zero a typo?

I’m also not an especially huge fan of auras that require attack rolls. :/

Also, why, as a swarm, is it not vulnerable to close and area attacks? Is this intentional?

Otherwise, it seems like a super nasty monster, and I’m interested to see it develop. I’m a fan of lasting harm, too, so the threat of being taken over by a parasitic monster is welcome.

A minor concern, I know. Overall, it seems to be a good season for parasitic insectoids, what with the Horakh winning King of the Monsters and all.
