My Wife bought me some of this toys for only 10 euro-cents, each. Ants, Maggots (normal and glow in the dark), fly, spiders with net, cockroach and vomit-imitation. They are tiny, so I thing I make a ant swarm and a "bloofly" swarm somehow. The Cocroaches are a nice size for miniatures. Im a little bit stumped wthat to do with the maggots. I guess they have the size of a arm/leg of a 28mm miniature. Maybe I should cut the legs of some ants and glue them under the maggots. Any smalll D&D monsters that looks like maggots? Maybe with legs? And I dont know what to do with the fake Vomit. :-) Sadly, scorpions and centipde wasnt available. :-(

Fake vomit is perfect for a slime/ooze monster.

Yeah, Larvae are my first thought for the maggots: souls of dead, evil people, in Hell, the Abyss, etc. Look them up in the 1st Ed. AD&D Monster Manual, circa 1977. This was long before the "Politically Correct" era ever began. Cheers!

Ah, Yes, I Remember them from my Planescape times. :-) Sadly I dont often play Planescape this day. More Vanilla EDO-Fantasy (is EDO a known term or is it used only in germany?). Ah, I guess I have to try to add some tiny mandible and some very small armorplates around the head and call it sepulchre worm or something like that and make stats up.
Tanks all.

I would make them infant carrion crawlers, because I have an upcoming encounter with the two that I made. Maybe giant leeches would work also.

The maggots, granted my campaign isn't fantasy but the idea can easily be transplanted. I have a few types of "grubs" going on. The fox tail grub is part of a terraforming ecosystem, they are benign to people. They grow to the size of a human thigh. They basically eat rocks and soil, once digested they poop out "good dirt" with microbes that make the soil fertile.
I can see something like this being used as a soil killer. Have them eat the roots of plants and devastate farm lands and forests. Would make for a creature that all the races (even something like orcs) cringe in terror. While on their own one or two is no big deal, but a swarm could lay waste to vast areas. Like a hornet when you whack one it releases a chemical calling the others to help, even if they only have two or three HP when they are massed it could be a challenge for eve a higher level character. That's not mentioning that if the critters have an acid bite it would be a lot more deadly to organic flesh.

Fake vomit for a "rendering pool". Necromancer trying to raise an army of flesh eating maggots.
