Swarm of Rot Grubs | Monster Guide for 5th Edition

Rot grubs are finger-sized maggots that eat living and dead creatures, although they can survive on vegetation. They infest corpses and piles of decaying matter and attack anyone that disturbs them. After burrowing into a creature, rot grubs instinctively chew their way toward vital parts.

Rot grubs recoil from flames, and fire is the main weapon against rot grubs once they’re inside a body. Magic that neutralizes poison can also stop them before they kill their host.
