Plague Locust Swarm

A swarm of disease-carrying locusts that devour everything.

A living cloud of millions of locusts, each carrying a strain of pestilence. The swarm moves with a singular malevolent intelligence, stripping flesh and food alike with equal voracity. Fighting it is like fighting the wind itself.
