History: An atomic bomb test in 1945 caused the ants there to mutate into extremely large ants. They grew to their largest form, and then two queens from the colony flew off to populate the world. All three nests were destroyed by the US military. One was in the Arizona desert, one was on a ship at sea, and one was in the sewer tunnels of Las Angeles.

Seeing as ants are such as social creature, they will be placed as a group. A single ant is powerful in it's own right, but they work best in large groups. These things are vicious and relentless. They will fight to the death and never back down. They know that if they die, there will be more to take their place. They have no fear, and their organizational skills are extremely good. They can lift many, many times their own weight. They can swarm an enemy, and kill it with their great numbers. Very vicious fighter; great bug to make a movie on. WMW standardizes the US belt at 50 ft. 5 ten foot ants will equal that, and there is one more thrown in to make a squad of killer ants. They can swarm like crazy, but they can also get squashed like crazy. Fights are quick, and vicious.
