==Also Called==
*Gold-Digging Ant Mimicry
==Capabilities==
Users of this power can take on the powers of a Gold-Digging Ant or are one. The Gold-Digging Ant is a mythical insect described in medieval European bestiaries and were envisioned as giant, furry (fox-sized) ants which would dig great tunnels and unearth gold, which local tribes would then gather.
The creatures, despite their large size, were not seen as very hostile and it is believed the myth was created by mistranslation and vague observation of marmots (which explains the "furry" nature of the "ants" and their abnormal size). It has also been observed by some researchers that termites on very rare occasions also dig up gold, which may also have played some part in these fantastical stories.
