Disperse.If the swarm takes damage from an attack to which they are vulnerable (see above), the swarm will disperse for 1 minute, after which they resume the attack (usually counts as a new encounter), unless they are less than 1/4 strength. Dispersing a pixil swarm does not award XP unless they do not resume the attack. While dispersed, they cannot be attacked. Magic Resistance.Pixils have resistance to magic damage, and has advantage on saving throws against spells and magial effects. 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 creature (see description). The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points. Vulnerabilities.Pixil swarms are vulnerable to Cold Iron, and Thunder damage. (also see Disperse above) Actions Melee Attack — Bite.+5 to hit, reach 0 ft.; one target in the swarm's space. Hit: 10 (4d4), minimum of 1) piercing damage, or 5 (2d4) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer. The target bit must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks for 10 minutes; on a success the effect lasts only until the end of the target's turn.

Pixil Swarm

Pixils are tiny (less than 1/2 inch long) unintelligent humanoid creatures that look like extremely small pixies with wasp-like wings. They congregate in swarms.

Ecology

Pixil swarms are common in the Feywild and Feydark. Pixil swarms are rare in the other parallel planes, and unheard of on other planes.

They prey on any creature that invades their territory. If their target is too dangerous, they will disperse to recongregate and attack an easier target.
