+====== Swarm Mob ======
+{{ rpd:images:swarm_mob.png|Swarm }}
+The **Swarm** is a group of small insects that act as a single enemy unit in Remixed Dungeon. It's an unusual mob that splits into multiple smaller swarms when defeated.
+==== Overview ====
+A Swarm consists of dozens of small insects that appear as a single creature but function differently from typical mobs. The Swarm is immune to most status effects due to its nature as a collection of small creatures.
+==== Stats ====
+  * **HP:** 50 (HT: 50)
+  * **Defense Skill:** 10
+  * **Attack Skill:** 12
+  * **Damage:** 1-6
+  * **Armor:** 0 DR (Defense Rating)
+  * **EXP for Kill:** 7
+  * **Maximum Level:** 10
+  * **Characteristics:** Immune to most status effects (poison, paralysis, etc.)
+==== Abilities ====
+  * **Splitting:** When killed, splits into 2 smaller swarms, each with 50% of the original's HP
+  * **Immunity:** Immune to most status effects due to its swarm nature
+  * **Speed:** Relatively fast, moves every turn but may have different AI behavior
+==== Occurrence ====
+  * **Primary Location:** Found throughout the Prison level and deeper dungeon levels
+  * **Spawn Frequency:** Uncommon in later dungeon levels
+  * **Group Behavior:** Usually found alone
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Use area-of-effect attacks or spells to damage multiple swarms at once
+  * Focus on one swarm at a time to prevent multiplication
+  * Fire-based attacks and AoE spells work well against swarms
+  * Be careful not to let them split multiple times, leading to a large number of enemies
+  * Area effect attacks like the Scroll of Psionic Blast or Fire can be very effective
+==== Special Notes ====
+  * The splitting mechanic can lead to exponential multiplication if not handled carefully
+  * Due to its nature, many status effects are ineffective against swarms
+  * Swarms are generally not very dangerous individually but can overwhelm with numbers
