{{Lore}}
An enormous insect, with the appearance of an ant. The giant ant is one of several species of giant insects native to the Mazes. It appears to be an enormous version of the ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorylus_gribodoi dorylus gribodoi]'', a type of army ant. These giant ants are approximately 3 feet tall and 5 feet long, weighing roughly 45 lbspounds.
Giant ants, remarkably, do not significantly differ in coloration from their smaller counterparts. They possess a reddish-brown body and head, with their legs being a lighter shade of brown. Their blood is yellowish to off-white, the exact shade varying depending on how oxygenated the blood is.
As violent as they are quick, giant ants should be quickly disposed of if encountered, as their bites are venomous. Make sure to always have [[Meds|antivenom]] on hand.
Like all members of the '''Bugs''' category, the origin of these creatures is unknown. Because they lack any magical or supernatural elements, it has been theorized that these creatures are the result of some type of past scientific experiment gone wrong, and that they have since escaped into the UA and become a species native to the Uncivilized Area.
