I'd like to see ants in dst

[JustAPineapple]

Title, I don't have a complex reason for this I just like ants and would love to see kleis take on some ant mobs, ideally in the caves.

Maybe mants existing in hamlet could mean another ant based mob is off the table, but vampire bats and batalisks and naked mole bats all exist, so I figure there's precedent.

I know antlion exists but shes more of lion antlion then an ant-lion if you catch my dirft.

But if keli considers her a ant-lion, maybe expand upon her? Not her bossfight, but maybe post cave and surface rift antlion rage cave ins / earth quakes, could come with a lil something something extra.

Or they could be entirely unrelated ants! The hills your sugarwater

Could be an interesting summertime event. In summer little mantlets show up in the oasis desert and wander around looking for food. You can catch them and feed them to antlion for 2 days of no quakes.

I brainstormed an idea with some friends a while back that I like a lot, of ants/termites in the caves that get infested by the three types of mushroom spores during the appropriate seasons, and the use for them is to trap and directly cook them in the crockpot into REALLY potent juice that either gives hunger, sanity, or health depending on the color of the mushroom. The catch is that, although the juices give incredibly high stats, they're bland as hell and have the Warly food memory mechanic regardless of character, so you have to supplement your diet with them rather than living off of them.

This thread would be a lot better if your picture was an ant eater instead of an ant.

Love all these idea's though!
