For the Realms, the proper term of venerary is a "charm of vampires".

[Fieari]

A Lurch of Zombies.

I object. Everyone knows the only propper term for a group of zombies is a horde.

 

[Faraer]

Also in the Realms -- a thirst of stirges.

True. I have trouble referring to a group of 3 or 4 of anything as a 'horde', though - even for zombies, the numbers seem a wee bit thin for that classification. Of course, the number of zombies always grows at an exponential rate, so 3 or 4 of them will be a horde in no time at all...Muh-huh-ha-ha-hah!

Drive of Dragons - from Wind in the Door - (Madline En Langel)
Flight of Dragons - from Pern & Realms (which I prefer)
a Company of Ropers - and it only takes 3

a Committee of Katori - served as the archvillians for a campaign.

The best one is:
an unkindness of ravens

I like the term "conspiracy of ravens" better.

A Chase of Quicklings.

Wouldn't it be a "pocketful" since you could only tell they were there by what you missed from your pockets (or your body, like your spleen)?

 

[Meloncov]

The official word for a group of dragons is "wyrn," thus, a wyrn of dragons. This comes from an actual dictionary. It is worth noting that one of my players greates fears is getting an excuse to use this term.

 

[LogicsFate]

A Uselessness of Flumphs.

I almost took offense it this one... then I thought O, yeah I guess thats true

Sorry, no offense meant - I said it with love for the flumph!
