Packs

Answer:

MOBS

Hint:

Groups of animals or people acting together, often with a shared purpose or in a disorderly way.

Explanation:

Packs" is a clever misdirection here—the word doesn’t mean groups of animals or bundles but hints at the verb "to pack," as in crowding together tightly. In slang, especially in gaming or online culture, "mobs" refers to large, unruly crowds (short for "mobile vulgus," Latin for "movable crowd"). The clue plays on the double meaning: packs can describe both groups and the act of squeezing in, which fits how mobs gather.
