I'm so tired of people making a decent monster, and then deciding to keep it small so that there are a HUNDRED of them. Because obviously you have to max out your chance of killing the opponent byt having MORE than. And I'm not talking like Xito sixed creatures, I'm talking about people at absolutly push the limit, creating five foot long creature. And yeah, I KNOW it's in the rules, but I get so disappointed when I go in, give a monster a once over, think it's good, only to find that they creator decided to throw in a 100 of them just in case it wasn't enough. I mean, really people. Swarms are NOT the way to go. I'd love to see some actual singular creatures for once. There's a list of people that have a majority of swarms, when a single large version of that monster would have worked JUST as well, if not better. |

I only made the Orcadiles a pod because, well, face it, they aren't what you'd call "fast." |

Even still though. I mean, it's a great monster. But the whole point of sizing it down to make a swarm is to have lots of little monsters that work together to be strong, not to have a swarm of ultra powerful downsized monsters. |

I agree with you one hundred percent KP. Something needs to be done about this. Swarm monsters are supposed to work as one like the xitos or weevion. Not just push the size limit to the max and then max out with as many as you can for that size. Seriously, it takes the fun out of battling swarm creatures. |

And each hasn't been given so many powers I'm amazed they can stand up. Each is just a smart, bipedial, hyena. AND they work together to defeat an opponent, unlike so many swarms I see nowadays. |

The orcadile's social behavior is based on Orca's socialization. so they WOULD work together in reality. |

So put it in the LOGI section. You don't need to have the whole pod attack. |

Thing is FK that these creatures are on a higher level of socialization: toolmaking, for example, is linked to close social bonding. Whilst Fools could function as one creature units, they simply are very poor at working alone; trapping is a group ability, as with Gurath stealing and whatever the Chomper's hat is. Orcas are very, very efficient hunters by themselves. I'm not even sure what podding behaviour is for. |

its so they don't get bored when not on the hunt, so they have someone to play pass the seaweed with, and also so they can help eachother out when they are in danger. and alot of dolphins and porpoises play pass the seaweed... I've seen atleast pacific whitesides, orcas, and harbor porpoises do it on tv... |
