• Whirlwind (Recharge 5-6). The air is momentarily filled with paper golems. Each creature within 5 feet of the swarm must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Special abilities

• False Appearance. While the paper golem swarm remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from ordinary sheets of paper.
• Immutable Form. The paper golem swarm is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
• Ink Blot (Recharge 4-6). As a bonus action, the paper golem applies ink to itself. The next time it hits a creature with a paper cut attack or whirlwind action, the creature must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 5 (2d4) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
• Magic Weapons. The paper golem's weapon attacks are magical.
• Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and it can move through any opening large enough for a piece of paper. The swarm can't regain hp or gain temporary hp.
