Fire Ant

The Fire Ant can be found in the Volcanic Cavern. It can deal about 12 damage if said player is hit, though they have a chance of being harmless or not even spawning at all. They are great for EXP farming, cause' if they spawn, a lot of them do.

Activities
Fire Ants have many different Activities to occupy themselves in their cavern.

Wandering Around
Fire Ants can sometimes be passive when they spawn. When they are, they normally just wander around, even if a player(s) is in the cave. They do this mostly around their mound but can go further out sometimes causing...

Teleportation
Though rare, if an ant travels into the mahogany teleporter, they can teleport to the spirit island. But I can already hear people saying, "But I've seen ants in the teleporter and they didn't teleport." So let me explain. It's true those ants were in the teleporter, but not far enough in. That's what makes it rare.

Destruction
Fire Ants normally have very destructive habits, even if they're not attacking the player. They will (almost) always stop any activity to destroy the nearest Wall, Chest, Hut, etc. This is a strategy for EXP farming, as you just put a stone or iron wall, and start attacking the ants as they give you 5 EXP each.

Attacking
These Ants aren't just gonna stand there in their cave. They'll attack you when you get close. They (again) take away about 12 points of health per hit and can kill you in 9 hits. But they won't attack you if they're attacking a structure (see the "destruction" part of the page.)

Trivia

 * The Fire Ant has been moved: from the Wealthy God cavern, to the Volcanic Cavern.
 * They were added during the Antmen Update on March 23rd, 2018.
 * The Fire Ant Mound is sometimes glitched which results in ants not spawning in.
 * There is also a slim chance that ants won't destroy a structure.
 * There was once a certain sentence in the description of the game that said any user who owned the Booga Booga Fire Ant toy would receive a special code to redeem for a hat, but for some reason never happened despite being mentioned.
