Ant (Fallout 76)

Ants, sometimes referred to as radants or rad ants, are creatures found in Appalachia.

Background
Ants found in Appalachia are a larger variant of worker ants seen before the Great War. They maintain the same body structure as pre-War ants, with mutations effecting both their size and prominence of pincers.

Biology
The species of ants found around Appalachia are smaller than those seen in the Capital and Mojave Wastelands. They are more comparable to those found in Northern California and Broken Hills, with the size of larger specimens mirroring that of radroaches. They are often found in small groups.

Gameplay attributes
Due to their erratic movements and small nature, they pose a potential threat if swarming the player character. They are usually found in enclosed locations, and deal relatively low damage per hit. They fight in groups to compensate.
