'''Antmen''' are one of the [[Creature|races]] of tribal [[animal people]] who can be found in [[cavern]]s. They can form crude civilizations and usually have a couple of piles of random items lying around.

Antmen form '''worker''', '''soldier''', '''drone''' and '''queen''' castes. Antmen workers are the most common antmen, no larger than a [[kobold]]. Drones are as big as workers and have the ability to fly. Soldiers can grow almost as large as a [[dwarf]] and will defend their queen at all costs. The queen, as big as a [[lion]], is the only breeding female among antmen and her only task is producing new soldiers, workers and drones. Queen ant women are the largest (and therefore strongest) companions that can be recruited by non-[[elf]] adventurers, aside from escaped [[HFS]].

They are intelligent enough to use crude [[weapon]]s such as [[blowgun]]s. They can be deadly from their numbers and use of weapons, but a solid [[military]] effort can kill them off. Their blowguns can inflict mild [[Syndrome|poison effects]] on creatures, such as dizziness which causes them to be less effective in combat and slower at work like mining. Although they can not destroy buildings, they are able to open [[door]]s.

Compared to most humanoids, antmen have an extremely short lifespan, allowing a patient player to simply wait for them to die of old age rather than confront them.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] antmen for their ''mystery''.

Although Antmen do not appear to have any notable writing system, humans frequently attempt to get their signatures, citing them as being some sort of great heroes. Records on their supposed escapades are found solely in human codices, often pitted against some sort of Beeman. To date, no Beemen have been discovered by dwarf-kind.
