Giant ant

Giant ants were a type of insect that consisted of two types, workers and warriors.

Biology
Much like regular ants, giant ants communicated through the use of complex pheromones. These pheromones were also highly acidic and were known to be used offensively by giant ants.

Ecology
Giant ants lived togethor in hives consisting of hundreds of members, most of whom were of the worker variety. Workers maintained the nest, while warriors fended off intruders. Warriors also acted as explorers and guardians of workers who were traveling beyond the confines of their nest. By contrast, giant ant soldiers almost always remained within their nest, unless ordered by their queen.

Their social organization was said to rival that of most humanoids.
