Compsognathus, Swarm

A bush rattles near by and a small bird-like creature emerges, it looks to you and squeaks. Suddenly another one appears behind it, and yet another from a bush on the other side. Before you realise it your circled by dozens of these small creatures, and their looking at you with hungry eyes.

Combat

A single compy is more of an annoyance then a threat, however they never travel alone. There are strength in numbers and they live and die by this. They tend to overwhelm their target and bite them multiple times, inflicting alot of small wounds.

A swarm of compsognathus gains a +5 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks.
