Outside the colony, scouting (3-5) and hunting (5-10) bands pick their way through the forest or plains. They work in a seasonal pattern, clearing a swath of land of all other animals and then leaving it for the rest of the year to repopulate. Woe to the party of adventurers caught unaware when a wave of clicking mandibles and rock-hard chitin pours into their camp because these waist-height ants can shred cloth and leather and crush metal in their jaws. More than once, a soldier has fended off an attack but later lost a limb to rot because he could not extract himself from his crushed gauntlet or boot. Instinct: Scour the Forest

• Hunt. Kill. Repeat.
• Group Mind - nearby ants act as if one entity

Endlessly skittering through the tunnels of the behemoth ant colony, drones are the most numerous caste. They are not actively hostile but if it becomes clear that intruders are disturbing or endangering the colony they will team up to remove the intruders. Quite possibly in several mangled pieces. Instinct: Remove unwanted things from the hive

• All chitin and mandibles and OCD
• Panic Pheromones
