A creature with chilopodaes 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 creatures with a DC 19 Reflex save. High wind or any amount of damage from an area effect destroys all clinging aberrations. The save DC is Dexterity-based.       Hivemind (Ex) Any chilopodae swarm with at least 1 hit point per Hit Die (or 11 hit points, for a standard chilopodae swarm) forms a hive mind, giving it an Intelligence of 4. When a chilopodae swarm is reduced below this hit point threshold, it becomes mindless.Only in swarms acquire chilopodae their inhuman  intelligence which transforms them from mere annoying pests to dangerous predators.  Several members of the swarm cling to their victims, consuming them even  when they become separated from the swarm, removing tiny bits of flesh with their claw-like appendages and stuffing it into their many mouths. Besides their feeding habits, nearly nothing is known about these underground dwelling aberrations.      [FONT=&quot]Adventure Hooks:- The form of the creature's tail made scholars in all countries wonder if their is some kind of relationship to the dreaded rust monster. This possibility becomes frightening if you assume a missing link between them. Maybe there is some evil mage out there, breeding swarms with a hive intelligence, feeding like piranhas on flesh and dissolve metal with the touch of their tail... if this is the case, some real heroes would be needed.- Mages of all kinds were long interested in the 'mind magic' of many aberrations (most prominently intellect devourers and neothelids). Some are now searching for chilopodae swarms to determine if the building of their hive mind is another form of mind magic. And would even bigger swarms reach genius level intellect? But who would risk his life venturing underground to bring back an alive flesh-eating intelligent swarm? [/FONT]</blockquote>
