Anything involving the word Swarmanoid has to be ridiculously cool...and potentially terrifying.
Just watch it.

Jawbreakers are armored, 4'-5' fish that inhabit murky swamps, lakes, and rivers. They are slow and sluggish in the water, and drift lazily beneath the surface...
...until prey nears the shoreline. At that point, a jawbreaker shifts its back fins into nimble legs with clawed feet, and springs onto the land, Surprising on a 1-5 on 1d6. It then rushes after prey with gnashing, bone-snapping teeth.
If a jawbreaker attacks a pack animal or mount with a successful To Hit roll of 17-20, it snaps the target's leg, resulting in crippling immobility. PCs struck on a 19-20 with such an attack suffer a loss of -4 to DEX and a quartered movement rate until the injury heals in 1d4 months.
