In large numbers, they’re a menace. \n_**Unite and Grow Strong.**_ Larger fire elementals are usually sessile creatures, content merely to exist on their plane of origin. Fire dancers possess (and some argue are infected with) mortal qualities—they seek to reach a greater potential, which smacks of envy, ambition, and resentment. They realize that there is power in numbers and that, when united, they are a force to be reckoned with. A single fire dancer is no more threatening than a tiny candle flame, burning hot and blue. When thousands join together, though, the result is an inferno. The likeness of a skull in its flame is an illusion created by the creature, based on how the fire dancers perceive mortal creatures after they’re done with them. \n_**Surly Servants.**_ Lone fire dancers have individuality, but in groups, they develop a hive mentality. While this allows them to function as a swarm, it also makes them vulnerable as a group to mind-affecting magic. Savvy bards, conjurers, and enchanters who summon swarms of fire dancers know they must maintain a tight control on the swarm, for these creatures are surly servants at the best of times. \n_**Elemental Nature.**_ A swarm of fire dancers doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Fire Dancer Swarm", "size": "Medium", "type": "Elemental", "subtype": "Swarm", "group": null, "alignment": "neutral evil", "armor_class": 15, "armor_desc": "", "hit_points": 90, "hit_dice": "12d8+36", "speed": { "hover": true, "walk": 30, "fly": 30 }, "strength": 10, "dexterity": 20, "constitution": 16, "intelligence": 6, "wisdom": 10, "charisma": 7, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": null, "skills": {}, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing", "damage_immunities": "fire, poison", "condition_immunities": "exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, stunned, unconscious", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10", "languages": "Ignan", "challenge_rating": "7", "cr": 7.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Swarm", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm's space.
