I was just going by what the 1st ed book says, that they try to pick a 
target unconsious, then crawl down it's throat' it specifically says they do 
brawling damage.  This may have changed in 2nd ed.

although just saying they do normal damage would work as well.  swarm rules 
would make it easier to run a combat with a pack of the critters.
