Aggressive. Forest Camouflage. The swarm has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in forests, woodlands, or other terrain of abundant foliage. Reactive. The swarm can take a reaction on every creature's turn in combat. Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny monstrosity. The swarm can't regain heart points or gain temporary heart points.
Actions Cling. Melee Weapon Attack: +0 to hit (with advantage if it occupies the same space as the target), reach 0 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage. One morth from the swarm becomes physically attached to the target; it occupies the target's space and moves with it. While attached, the target's speed is halved. Multiple attached morths can further halve the target's speed (reducing it to one quarter, one eighth, and so on), but cannot reduce the target's speed below 5 feet. The attachment ends if the swarm is reduced to 0 hit points or the morth is moved from the target's space. Any number of attached morths are removed if the target creature takes an action to remove them.

“	“Eeek! Morths! Fan them away with the deku leaf before they can stick to you! If they stick to you, use your rolling attack to shake them loose.”
	— Tingle

Morths are often spawned in groups and their instincts work well together, almost moving as an individual creature would. These statistics could represent anywhere from a few to a few dozen morths all acting as one.
