They do a 3d6 bite and a 2d6 special fire attack every 1d4 rounds. Is it possible, at all to create a stat block for the unswarmed version. Both specifically and generally? Thanks for the help.

The Abominable Darkling 05-20-05, 10:42 AM	Then explain why there are both individual and swarm entries for bats, rats, and vipers.The short answer is that these animals are included because of their roles as familiars. They certainly aren't intended as foes for the PCs (though I've often toyed with the idea of attacking a level 1 party with a bunch of house cats, but I digress). In any case, if you want to make a diminutive, fire breathing locust to fight your PCs, just make up the stats. There is no method to extract "official" stats for such a creature from the swarm entry.
