Also Called[]

Avian Flock Form/Flocking
Bird Flock Form

Capabilities[]

Applications[]

Hive Mind
Reforming
Spying/scouting large areas at once.
Defensive dispersing making the user very hard to hurt and especially capture/kill since finding all of the fragments is practically impossible using normal methods.

Associations[]

Limitations[]

There's a limit for how far the scattered parts can be from any other part.
May need most of the scattered pieces together to be able to reform.
- Missing parts may cause the inability to reform or cause reforming in a diminished/wounded state or partially complete.
Amount of scattered pieces may be limited by the user's body size.
May require enhanced coordination to control all the fragments.
If half or all the scattered parts are injured, the user will also be when they transform back.
May be vulnerable to gas or other attacks that affect a wide area while in swarm form.
May be limited to certain types of birds.
Animal Manipulation/Avian Manipulation can counter this power.
