The SendingStone review

The Swarm of Quippers is a relatively low-level creature with very little in terms of special abilities, making it somewhat underwhelming as an encounter. Its condition immunities may not come into play very often, and it lacks any real threat beyond its small amount of damage. However, the creature could be useful in certain situations, such as urban settings where bodies of water are prevalent. Overall, the Swarm of Quippers is not particularly exciting but can be a decent addition for DMs looking to add some variety to their encounters.
