Create swarms of monsters and critters that move as one. Rats, bats, ravens, bugs, pretty butterflies or even trolls (who wouldn't want to fight a swarm of trolls?) every token can be made into a swarm.
Install by searching for swarm in the module browsing tool or manually using this url: https://github.com/strongpauly/swarm/releases/latest/download/module.json
Right click any token (or an actors prototype token) and bring up the token config. The Swarm configuration can be found in the Appearance tab.
- Enable your swarm by checking the box Swarm Enabled
- Count is the number of critters in your swarm
- Speed lets you configure the critters individual speeds. Are they moving too fast, reduce this number.
- At last you have a drop-down box where you can choose the swarm animation, see below.
On the Appearance tab additional options will affect the swarm:
- If you are modifying a prototype token, you can enter a wildcard pattern in your Image Path. If enabled as well, your swarm will draw randomly from the wildcard token images.
- Modify the Scale to reduce or increase the size of the individual critters.
- Change the Dimensions to create a larger area where the bugs crawl.
- Mirror Image if your critters e.g., move backward.
- Reduce the Opacity of the Swarm
- Modify the Tint of the Swarm
And you should have your swarm ready for action.

If you want to translate this module, download this file and translate it. After that open an issue sharing your translation. Also share the default name convention for your language. You can find that by either, finding a system or module that is already translated to your language and open its module.json. It should look something like this: "languages": [ { "lang": "en", "name": "English", "path": "lang/en.json" }
Tested on Foundry VTT version 12.
