• Nuts. Ranged Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, range 10 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (2d4) bludgeoning damage, or 2 (1d4) bludgeoning damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.

ABOUT

This squirrel is wearing a crown! Like other beasts in Faerie, squirrels are intelligent and have a king. They do not take kindly to anyone eating their nuts and are not above tying up those who cross them.

Squirrel nobles are identified by their crowns. They speak on behalf of all squirrels in their forest.

When roused to anger, squirrels can form into a swarm that is capable of significant harm.
