Swarm isn't a new specimen per se, but a way for existing specimens to attack. Rather than clots walking to you slowly, what if they could group in a ball and roll to the players? As individual specimens are killed they would drop off the ball but the ball itself would keep rolling to the players. When the swarm reaches a player, it would break apart and the individual specimens would attack.
I just have this idea of a Swarm of 30 clots and gorefasts rolling to the group and players are furiously shooting at Swarm. Dead specimens are falling off as Swarm slowly gets smaller and smaller until it hits the group and out springs the last 8 living specimens that attack.
Of course, scrakes and FPs couldn't be in Swarm.
This would also help prevent barricading. If Swarm rolls into a room and hits a wall, it would separate. But if the players are in a hallway, they could sidestep Swarm as it rolls by. Or maybe instead of hitting a player to separate, Swarm pops free if it passes within a foot or two of a payer.
Thoughts?
