Fire ants

Fire ants are an enemy that appear during later progress in the game. They appear as red-orange ants with a pointed abdomen. Like other ants, they have similar roles in their colony: Worker ants, Soldier Ants, Guard Ants, Queen ant, Brood Ant, and Scout Ants. Unlike Red Ants or Black Ants, Fire ant soldiers have an additional attack strength. It is significantly different from Termites and Red ants. Fire ant Soldiers and Scouts are the only ants that appear outside of the Fire Ant Nest. Although Fire Ant Workers never have been seen in-game, they have been found as an ant in the files. They are indeed living somewhere in the colony, because the colony is still alive and the queen thrives. The nest is found in the top left corner of the map near the tree. A leaf usually spawns near the colony, which is convenient for the Fire Ants. Rarely, a Fire Ant Scout will leave the nest and wander if the Fire Ant Colony is guarding an Aphid Farm. The Scout will wander until it is killed or it somehow goes back into its nest. Fire ants guarding an Aphid Farm will attack any critter that wanders near the Farm. The Farm may have 8-12 Fire Ant Soldiers protecting the farm. They do not despawn until killed. When a farm is taken over by the player's colony, an Aphid Convey will take place and Black Convey ants will arrive to take the Aphids to the honeydew chamber. During the Aphid Convey, Fire Ant Soldiers will leave its nest ant attack the Black Convey Ants. When a Black Convey Ant is killed, the Aphid escapes. A Fire Ant Soldier will only kill one Convey Ant, and then will become a Scout if not attacked and proceed to wander. Fire Ant Soldiers will continue to attack the Convey until the Convey Ants are all killed. To prevent this, the player will need to use Soldier Ants to protect the Convey. Fire Ants that arrive to the convey when it has already entered the colony, or when the Convey Ants all die will attempt to return back to its colony. Unlike Red ants, Fire ants do not have guard ants protecting the entrance to the Fire Ant Nest, but have Fire Ant Guards in the inside of the nest. The queen is also an enemy to fight. In Order to enter the Fire Ant Nest, a price needs to be payed. Fire ant Soldiers behave similar to Red ant Soldiers and will follow the player or other ants until killed.
