Crack Ant
The infamous "Crack Ant", living in the Dhomaanin Forest, is a type of ant that is known to sneak into the pants of adventurers and travelers alike, inflicting discomfort, annoyance, and occasionally some pain. It was given the name "Crack Ant" because of its tendency to appear in the butt cracks of adventurers, if they had slept on the ground or near a Crack Ant hill.
The party first encountered Crack Ants on May 17, 16 AGW, when Ares shoved one down Rogan's pants.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Crack Ant physically appears like a normal Carpenter Ant, but they have an unnatural strength. Travelers have claimed to be unable to remove the ants from their behinds in the morning, and have resorted to clenching, only for the ants to hold their cheeks open! While this is a terrifying prospect, these ants are more of an annoyance as their bites only cause a minor itch, and they only do it when provoked.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Crack Ants, like other Ants, consume sugar, plant matter, and other bugs. Unlike those other Ants, Crack Ants also consume fecal matter, making their intrusion an uncomfortable experience. Residents of the Dhomaanin Forest have observed that Crack Ants far from their colony will seek tight, enclosed, and preferably warm places, meaning they often end up in people's butt cracks at night.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Crack Ants are usually entirely a shade of burgundy, occasionally with black spots on the face and upper back. The relative similarity to other ants makes it difficult to immediately tell if you've just stepped on a normal Ant hill, or a Crack Ant hill.
