Magic ants?

[tyrtix]

They can't be army ants since they have a nest.

You call that nest, they call it barracks..in fact, raiding the barracks you can find dead ant soldiers.

they are obviously mutated

this is how ants look

while in haven they look more like a brown tornado something


does anyone remember that goosebumps episode with giant ants having human farms?

Sure I get that they can harm you in large quantities when you stand still for a very long time or are trapped.
But this just makes me question the intelligence of the hearthling.
Why fight a bunch of ants when you can just drop a load of soil, water, sand on the bunch. Or better yet leave some honey so they get stuck in it.
I'm going with the people who suggest they are mutated ants.
From personal experience I have stood inside ants and they did not bite me. I didn't struggle or anything like that either.

Actually there's plenty of ant species and many of them look really different compared to each other.


Also giant ants or any insects aren't possible due to their way to intake oxygen. Though if oxygen concentration of atmosphere rises over time, insects will grow in size too. Quite a lot actually. So keep on polluting!
