Ant (Fallout 76)

Ants, sometimes referred to as radants or rad ants, are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
The ants found in Appalachia are a considerably larger variant of worker ants seen before the Great War. They maintain the same body structure as pre-War ants, with the exception of their greater size and sightly exaggerated pincers. These mutations are likely due to radiation from the Great War.

Biology
Unlike their Capital Wasteland and Mojave Wasteland counterparts, the species of ants found around Appalachia are relatively small. They are more comparable to those found in Northern California and Broken Hills with larger specimens being about the same size as a medium-large radroach. They are often found in small groups.

Ants typically do not pose a serious threat. They only become dangerous when swarming the player character, usually as a result of the encroachment of their territories.

Gameplay attributes
Due to their erratic movements and small nature, it can be very difficult to kill ants with a ranged weapon. They are usually found in enclosed locations, making it difficult to evade their attacks. Ants tend to deal relatively low damage per hit, but often fight in groups to compensate.

Small soldier ant

The glowing ant is a more powerful ant which glows green. Like other glowing creatures it has been affected by high radiation and can spawn in nuke zones.
