The Swarm

The Swarm is a faction in Honkai: Star Rail. They are the remains of the Aeon of Propagation, Tayzzyronth, and appear in the form of flying, four-winged insects.
==Description==
==Known Species==
Sir Duroy, a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, explored the starry seas and authored the thirty-volume of the Chronicles of Interdimensional Insects. The book provides detailed records of over a dozen confirmed species of lepisma and countless subspecies spanning across the stars.
===True Stings===
True Stings emit fibrous particles from their wings during flight — the inhalation of which can induce perceptual distortions and hallucinations. These visions feed on people's subjective experiences and long-term sentiments in order to take the form of what they personally desire.
* Swarm: True Sting — Mature True Sting
* Lesser Sting — Youngling of True Sting 
* Juvenile Sting — Youngling of True Sting
* Giant Sting — Can reach tremendous proportions and is big enough to swallow an entire starnought
* Gnaw Sting — A subspecies of Stings that underwent mutations during reproduction
* Silver Sting
* Swarm Mother
* Afterglow Sting
Some units of the Swarm have transformed into ground combat units. They have sacrificed flight for colossal size and hardened carapaces. These units often serve as the shock troops of the Swarm Invasion, using their massive bodies to break through defenses.
===Swarm Kings===
Swarm Kings were high ranked descendants of Tayzzyronth.
====Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz====
Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz was a giant lepisma that was ascended to be Emanator of the Propagation and inherited the mandibles of Tayzzyronth. It can collect in its mouthparts the death ray that fragmented celestial bodies, and make shattered stars incubators for procreating offspring. It was once one of the nightmares across multiple worlds during the Swarm Disaster. A synthetic form was later created by Ruan Mei, though it died 56 seconds after breaking out of its incubator due to not being able to sustain itself.Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.6 "Crown of the Mundane and Divine" Highlights Page, HoYoLAB.

====Afterglow Swarm King====
Afterglow Swarm King was mentioned in the Curio Ancient Communications. During the Swarm Disaster, a group of bounty hunters that pursued worker bugs captured lone Afterglow Stings and modified them into frontline communications devices. With varying levels of stimulation, pheromone sensors that ignore distance would cause the insect to change color in real time and allow for simple information exchange. With this secret code, the bounty hunters became more and more courageous on the battlefield, until they came face-to-face with the Afterglow Swarm King attracted by the pheromones.

==Trivia==
* The Swarm bears strong similarities to the Zerg Swarm from the series. Both are a set of arthropod aliens united in a hive mind, likened to a swarm due to their rapid reproduction rates and swarm-like attack strategies.
