When the Swarm chooses its victim, it does not attack in the usual way. The insects simply surround the person in a dense, trembling cocoon. They do not bite or sting—they simply are. For several minutes, the victim stands paralyzed, feeling thousands of tiny legs crawling across their skin.
When the last insect finally flies away, no mark remains on the body. Yet those who survive an encounter with the Swarm are never the same again. Some descend into madness, claiming they can still hear a faint buzzing coming from beneath their skin.
It is said that the Swarm does not feed on flesh or blood. It burrows deeper—into the human mind and will.
Role in The Black Bestiary
Swarm is a simple yet highly effective card for making favorable trades. It allows you to place the Bound Condition on any Being, effectively removing your opponent's strongest card from the fight.
