Challenge 1 (200 XP)

Grasslands Camouflage. The compsognathus has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in tall grass.

Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny compsognathus. The swarm can't regain hp or gain temporary hp.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm's space. Hit: 14 (4d6) piercing damage, or 7 (2d6) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hp or fewer.

Description

The curious bipedal lizard lets out a musical chirp. More chirps respond from within the nearby grass, becoming a sinister chorus._
