Shimmering camouflage

Shimmer bugs have great control over their carapace. As an action the swarm can change the coloring of every bug. The new colors remain until you use this feature again.

Flowing body

The swarm is made of bugs that are about 0.3 inch long. As an action you can start meditating on your body. While meditating, you can extend a connected line of bugs from your body. The main body remains intact. This line can extend up to 30ft and can be as wide as 1 ft. These bugs can move trough cracks as small as 1 inch. The line of bugs has a strength score of 2 and can carry 30 pounds. All of the bugs share their senses.

Heart of the swarm

The swarm carries within it their hive. The hive is as big as an ostrich egg. The swarm needs this hive to survive. Normally the hive is protected from all damage, but when left alone it has 10 HP and AC of 5. If the hive is destroyed then the swarm dies too.

Sing their tune

You can mimic the speech of another person or the sounds made by other creatures. You must have heard the person speaking, or heard the creature make the sound, for at least 10 minutes. A successful Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check allows a listener to determine that the effect is faked.
