===Video Games===

The video game Pathfinder: [[Kingmaker]] (the only D&D rules based video game to actually feature swarm monsters, besides the sequel WOTR) featured a cave with spider swarms early on, it was possible to make this your third fight after the prologue sequence, and this prompted much butthurt.

In addition to the usual annoying swarm traits like distraction, they also have tons of [[Damage Reduction]] due to being [[demon]]s, can confuse/stun the entire party with Gibber, and resist usual swarm weaknesses due to having [[Bullshit|Fire and Lightning Resist 10]]. Unless you have an [[Alchemist (Pathfinder)|Alchemist]] who can throw bombs, get ready to [[rage]], especially on the higher difficulties. Later on, you get fiendish ticks, which have the same damage reduction on top of immunity to physical damage. On the plus side, if you want to control some swarms of your own and don't mind [[Khorne|killing literally everyone]], you can take the [[Worm That Walks|Swarm That Walks Path]].
