Well, when you're dealing with this kind of problem with a mass of humans, who between them are definitely capable of carrying out the task, the basic skill roll is Leadership.

For these creatures, I think you need to consider how they decide to do something, and how they organise themselves. Do they have leaders, or is there some different approach, such as a "hive unity" roll?
