Special Abilities

• Cling (Ex) If a creature leaves an parasprite swarm's square, the swarm suffers 1d6 points of damage to reflect the loss of its numbers as several of the crawling pests continue to cling tenaciously to the victim. A creature with parasprites clinging to him takes 3d6 points of damage at the end of his turn each round. As a full-round action, he can remove the ants with a DC 17 Reflex save. High wind or any amount of damage from an area effect destroys all clinging ants. The save DC is Dexterity-based.

• Consume (Ex) An parasprite swarm can rapidly consume any creature it swarms over. Against helpless or nauseated targets, an parasprite swarm attack deals 6d6 points of damage.

• Weakness to Music (Ex) Parasprites are easily hypnotized by polka music. The musician must succeed on a DC 20 Perform check each round as a move action. Each round the musician is successful, all parasprite swarms within a 60 ft. radius must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or be affected as if by a mass charm monster spell.
