Swarm: Applies to Tiny monsters, grouping up in clusters of 10x Level. A swarm combines their total strength into a single attack, dealing greater damage than one is able to. Damage dealt to the swarm eliminates one monster at a time, reducing their total attack power until they are dead or too weak to attack.
[Not appropriate for player characters but useful for NPCs]

Minion: Character has one or more allies based on their size and level.

Minions
Some monsters create or gather minions to assist their hunts or protect their homes. The number of minions a monster can have is based on their size and minions are always identical. Minions only get 1 trait per level and have the same level as their owner. Minions that are killed are dead for the game/session.

A Monster can have up to 2 minions the same size they are with 2 Minion traits. However they can take more minions of smaller sizes. The bigger the monster, the more smaller minions they can potentially have.

[same size = 1, 1size smaller = 2, 2 smaller = 3, 3 smaller = 4, 4 smaller = 5]
[A Huge monster could max out with up to 10 swarms of Tiny minions]
