If there is one Swarm member, there may be others. Quickly dismember the body before the Swarm gets to it, or destroy them before they can reanimate a body for better breathing room. If the reanimated body is destroyed, the Swarm will rush over to the next available corpse and re-animate a new body until killed. The Swarm allow for multiple bodies to be infected simultaneously to cause a quick wave of Necromorphs that can overpower the player quickly if not dealt with fast enough. The main attack method of a Swarm is to rush in droves to the nearest corpse and burrow into it, reanimating it and converting the corpse into either a Fodder or a Slasher. This particular form of Necromorph strongly resembles a scuttling crustacean or arachnid.
