Corpse Ants
These monstrous creatures stand several times the size of a regular ant, their chitinous exoskeleton mottled and decayed. Corpse Ants move with unnatural swiftness and coordination, in a ceaseless search for fresh corpses to consume. Their large, serrated claws are capable of tearing through steel armor, serving as a haunting reminder that even the smallest of creatures can carry the most sinister and deadly threat to the living.
