Antimagic Susceptibility.

The swarm is incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field. If targeted by dispel magic, the swarm must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster’s spell save DC or fall unconscious for 1 minute.

False Appearance.

While the swarm remains motionless and isn’t flying, it is indistinguishable from a set of knives, spoons, spatulas, and other cooking utensils.

Sous-chef.

The swarm can use the Help action to assist in any cooking-related skill check. If left to cook on its own, it automatically gets the result of a 10 on the d20 roll of any cooking check it makes.

Swarm.

The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny creature. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Actions

Multiattack. The swarm uses its Slash attack twice.
Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm’s space. Hit: 6 (4d4 - 4) slashing damage, or 1 (2d4 - 4) slashing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.

Animated Objects

Through the use of powerful magic, otherwise mundane objects, such as a broomstick, kettle, rug, or even a weapon or suit of armor, can be turned into a kind of primitive creature. An animated object is able to move, perceive, and even attack.
