Giant Ant Venomoffensive(poison)

A target that takes piercing damage from the giant ant's stinger Strike must succeed at a DC 18 fortitude save or take 1d10 poison damage.

Haul Away◆offensive

If the giant ant has a creature Grabbed or Restrained with its mandibles, it can spend this action to Stride up to its speed, carrying the creature with it. At the end of the Stride, place the creature in any open square adjacent to the giant ant.

Grab◆offensive

When the ant succeeds at its mandibles Strike, it can use this action immediately after to attempt to Grapple the target. This Grapple doesn't apply or count toward the ant's multiple attack penalty.

Description

Giant ants form vast underground colonies, excavating deep burrows or infesting existing caverns. Giant ants look identical to their smaller kin, but their size makes them a deadly threat to farms and travelers alike.
