Something I've just noticed that could help with this discussion. Â In Book of Bone & Ebony, page 65, there is a 2-dot artifact, Cloak of Vermin. Â
Basically, the cloak can turn into a swarm of rats and be used to attack a particular target, but cannot perform any complex maneuvers. Â It states that the swarm of rats are treated with the stats of a great cat and automatically does both a biting and a clawing attack every turn to a single target.
So, maybe, if you wanted to have a flock or swarm not be so combat worthy, then take the stats of a larger creature and work from there.
