Giant ant queen

There are only two  in Fallout 3. There is one in the Corvega Factory, and one in Shalebridge.


 * The Marigold Ant Queen is a different, but close relative, being mutated by Doctor Lesko.

Ant Queens are not particularly fast, but they do seem to notice you from a distance and shoot a greenish poison/acid with surprising accuracy.

Ant Queens have extremely high health (about 1/2 that of a Super Mutant Behemoth) making them one of the few creatures in the capital wasteland that can survive a nuka grenade blast. The quickest way to take one down is to shoot them in the Antennae until they frenzy, at which point any nearby ants will swarm them to death.

Killing an Ant Queen nets you 25 experience and Ant Queen Pheromones, which are an Aid item that provides PER -3, INT -3 and CHR +3.


 * Angela Staley in Rivet City wonders if Ant Queen Pheromones would help her seduce Diego, a priest. See: A Nice Day for a Right Wedding


 * Cindy Cantelli in Rivet City market sells Ant Queen Pheromones.
