Mosaic Swarm

Tilework that was never merely decoration, waiting for footsteps to rattle it into a cutting storm.

Solitary, large, construct, amorphous, stealthy. Stone Lords lined their halls with elaborate mosaics and tilework. Most were decoration; some were ceramic bodies waiting to rattle loose, whirl into jagged clouds, and reform around intruders unless their power source is found and destroyed.
