Ants

==Ant, Normal==
Ants are insects with SM-10 according to the 2 inches (0.056 yds) long for Titanomyrma gigantea, the largest ant that ever existed. This makes them 3 steps lower than rats who have SM-7 
==Ant, Giant==
Despite the name this is actually smaller than the ants that appeared in Them! (1956) which were 9' (SM+1) long.
Giant ants live in large underground nests containing hundreds or thousands of individuals. They are the ultimate communists - everything is done for the nest; the individual means nothing.
Most ants are divided into soldier and worker castes. For every soldier in the colony, there will be 20-50
workers. Soldiers will be at the high end of the given stats, workers at the low end. With most species workers don't attack at all – they just mill around and get in the way. In some species, the workers will defend the nest. In any species, workers will "attack" someone if they see him as food. Soldiers will ignore people, even though they look tasty, unless the nest is invaded.
As few people would be foolish enough to venture into a giant ant nest, the ants are much more likely to be
encountered while foraging. Foraging parties will be made up of approximately 2d ants. While foraging, the ants leave chemical trails behind them. If an ant finds food (humans qualify) and returns to the nest, many ants will follow the trail back to the food source. Ants can carry many times their own weight. A single worker ant at 25 lbs. could drag a human body back to the nest.
Since ants have no use for valuables, the armor and possessions of their victims will be scattered around the
hill, or (in some species) stacked in "burial chambers" along with dead ants and other trash
==Ant, Trapper==
This is about the size of the giant ants in Them! (1956) which were 9' (SM+1) long.
