Anatomy
Horde Anatomy: Whenever making an attack with multiple targets, each of those attacks may target the horde. Whenever targeted by an area of effect attack, it is hit once per 5 ft. square the horde occupies in the area of effect.
Traits
Horde Strength: Has +10 to hit. This decreases to +5 at 73 HP or less, and disappears at 36 HP or less.
Actions
Claw: Major action - Melee weapon attack, 5 ft. range, single-target, 3 damage, the attack hits an additional time for every 5 above the target’s AC. Bloodcraze: Minor action - The Shrikes take 9 damage, then gain advantage on their next attack roll. Rage of Aquarius: Special - The Shrikes are Empowered while it has any negative conditions on itself.
Tactics
Standard melee attacker, run in and fight. Use Bloodcraze only on low attack rolls, given each use of it slowly eats away at Horde Strength.
