Giant (6' long), omnivorous, black ants

If the encounter is with a colony of giant ants, the Number Encountered will represent the workers present. Calculate the presence of soldiers at 1:5, that is 1 soldier for every 5 workers, in addition to the number shown on the die. At the heart of the nest will be the queen. She is immobile and incapable of attacking or defending herself. At least 5d10 workers and 5 soldiers will attend her and defend her and her eggs. Once slain, the queen's organising influence on the colony will disappear, causing confusion (as the 7th level druid spell) for 1d6 rounds. After the period of confusion, ants will leave the colony in search of a new one. Ordinarily, the eggs of giant ants have no market value. Treasure: (In lair only) 3d4 gems (50%); 2d4 potions (40%)
