Soldier ant

Soldier ant is an enemy fought in the Ant Hole on Erd in Magical Starsign. It appears in wormholes when failing to catch yellow worms, and can also be randomly encountered. An orange color variation is also encountered when fighting the ant queen.

Profile
Soldier ants are bipedal, and have green antenna and limbs. They carry a large sword and a round, golden shield. One color variation has orange antenna and limbs instead of green.

Enemy
Despite having the earth starsign, soldier ants do not possess any spells. They have one physical skill, deep slash, that they use to damage a random member of the party each turn. They have increased resistance against physical attacks. The orange color variation can be summoned during the fight with the ant queen if she uses lackey call. In this fight, soldier ants can transfer the player's HP to the ant queen by using royal feast.

Bestiary entry
This brave and loyal ant uses its sword to protect itself and its queen. This is all very admirable, but that doesn't mean you should refrain from squishing it.
