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 an pile or stack of coins.

Nimble Escape.

The swarm can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns.

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

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

Swarm of Coins
