Converting Greyhawk monsters

7 HD is fine.

Fine (or should I say Diminutive?).

I'll update the Working Draft with 7HD and 4HD for the swarms.

I suppose we should talk damage. The original did 3d6 damage (or 1d6 with a save vs paralysation) to all creatures within a 10 foot radius.

We could average that to 2d6, or give it 1d6 with some "special attack" that increases the swarm damage by +2d6 with a save (Ref?) to negate.

Should we give it something like improved grab/constrict of the monstrous crabs? Maybe 1dx crabs dislodge and remain attached individuallly? I think we've done something like this with another swarm.

What about the racial skill bonuses of the Stormwrack crabs?

I suspect you mean Clinging Swarm, as in:

Clinging Swarm (Ex): Any living creature that takes damage from a amoeboid slime mold swarm's swarm attack must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or 1d4 amoeboid slime molds from the swarm automatically grapple the creature, dealing damage as usual. Treat these as individual amoeboid slime molds, which must be killed or grappled individually. The Reflex save DC is Constitution-based.

What about the racial skill bonuses of the Stormwrack crabs?

The listed skills include the racial bonuses, but it looks like we're missing the description...
