The character's appearance is weird, but unless you're phobic about reptiles, it's a case of "it looks like it looks."

More like:

Ugly (unless that Mr. Spock mask looks really sexy)

Distinctive Features (Rubber Mask as a face, Moves like it doesn't have joints, Constantly wears gloves/keeps hands in pockets)

Secret ("Actually a sapient swarm of lizards")
Could do

Also, isn't there a "Body of Swarm" advantage out there? If so, that would be perfect for this character.

Edit: Yes there is a Body of Swarm power, in GURPS Powers. Per RAW it's 180 points, since Swarm is a +80% enhancement. I can see why you went with the +0% modifier though, since the swarm can't disperse.

Injury Tolerance: Diffuse (Swarm +0%, Scatter +40%, Tenuous-50%) [90]
They can disperse. Horror distinguishes between 'swarm of bat/rodent sized things' +0% and 'swarm of insect size or smaller things' +40% separate from dispersal [+40%], and offers Tenuous whichmeans that damagecan force dispersal on a failed Will check.
