Only appearance: Ultima VI

Giant ants are normal ants having grown to monstrous size.

Description[edit]

Normally, most people step on ants without a second thought and sometimes without even noticing. However, what if the ant in question is over half a meter long? One giant ant is no problem for the schooled warrior, but these monstrosities attack in the dozens. If an adventuring party doubts their ability to overcome these insects, then the ant mound should be wisely avoided.

They can be found in the Drylands in northeastern Britannia.

Lore[edit]

The shifting desert sands conceal these warrior insects all too effectively. Beware their powerful mandibles, capable of crushing a man in an instant.

Notable Examples[edit]

  • The ant queen is the focus of the entire species. Killing her in Ultima VI is considered an unvirtuous act, as it means extinction to an entire species.
