Giant ants live and behave much like their tiny relatives, only they are much bigger – they commonly measure about a meter, sometimes even more. They almost certainly arose through magic or alchemy, and they have adapted well to their new size.

They live in colonies of a few individuals up to several hundred. The core of the colony is the queen (sometimes several queens), who produces eggs with the drones; workers take care of the labor and soldiers of the defense. A single ant does not think much, but the colony as a whole acts surprisingly sensibly. When a new queen is born and there is not enough room in the anthill, she leaves with part of the colony to found a new one.

They thrive best in a warm and humid environment, but they live wherever they find enough food. They easily drive out other species in the area, because in the end they overwhelm them by numbers. They grow fungi and keep giant aphids for their milk. They dig their anthills into the ground or build them from whole tree trunks; they do not plunder the surrounding forest, though, but pick only certain trees.

Combat

Ants attack with a bite that contains acid and can damage the gear of the one hit. They have a sturdy carapace and do not need to see, because they are guided by smell. They fear nothing and never flee from battle. They win mainly by numbers.
