Jungle Swarm attacks

In battle, Lizardmen armies are often proceeded by swarms of serpents and other reptiles, even on ocassion being drawn out of the sacred snake pit of the temple of Sotek. ^[2a][3a] When they attack, they swarm around the legs and bodies of their prey, wrapping them in deadly coils or biting with venomous fangs. ^[1a]
