Excerpts: Swordwings
4th Edition Monster Manual
Swordwings are supreme collectors, gathering rare items and arranging
them in galleries within their cavernous lairs. A swordwing’s
collection defines it as an individual. A typical swordwing favors one
particular collectable, while crownwings keep multiple collections.
Typical “collectables” include skulls, weapons, gems, magic items,
books, monster eggs, and victims’ hearts.

Swordwing Tactics
A swordwing swoops into battle and hacks enemies to pieces with its
armblade, using its sudden strike power against those that try to
shift away. The creature is incensed by the blood of its enemies and
attacks bloodied foes with greater accuracy.

Crownwing Tactics
The crownwing places its mark of death upon the foe it perceives as
the most dangerous, then orders its underlings to attack that target
while it takes out weaker prey using its armblade and flyby attack
power.
Swordwing Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful
Dungeoneering check.
DC 25: Swordwings are insectoid creatures that inhabit the Underdark.
One of their arms ends in a scimitarlike blade, hence the name.
DC 30: Swordwings live in clusters of tall “nesting spires” built from
resources chewed out of the surrounding environment. From a distance,
these towers resemble stalactites or stalagmites made of grayish-white
paper, but in truth the structures are as hard as stone.
Encounter Groups
Swordwings occasionally ally with other Underdark dwellers such as
mind flayers, beholders, and gibbering orbs.
Level 25 Encounter (XP 37,000)
4 swordwings (level 25 soldier)
1 crownwing (level 26 skirmisher)
Level 29 Encounter (XP 76,000)
3 swordwings (level 25 soldier)
1 gibbering orb (level 27 solo controller)
