Bugs

 * Sometimes, giant ants cannot be harmed with Unarmed attacks or Unarmed.
 * Giant ant queens are meant to carry both ant queen pheromones and a variable amount of ant eggs, but due to a missing property in their "death items" list, there is only a very small percentage chance of one or the other being found.
