Ants, sometimes referred to as radants or rad ants, are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

BackgroundEdit

The ants found in Appalachia are a considerably larger variant of worker ants seen before the Great War. They largely maintain the same body structure as pre-War ants, with the exception of their greater size and sightly exaggerated pincers. These mutations are likely due to radiation from the Great War.

CharacteristicsEdit

BiologyEdit

Unlike their Capital Wasteland and Mojave Wasteland counterparts, the species of ants found around Appalachia are relatively small. They are more comparable to those found in Northern California and Broken Hills with larger specimens being about the same size as a medium-large radroach. They are often found in small groups.

Ants typically do not pose a serious threat. They only become dangerous when swarming the player character, usually as a result of the encroachment of their territories.

Gameplay attributesEdit

Due to their erratic movements and small nature, it can be very difficult to kill ants with a ranged weapon. They are usually found in enclosed locations, making it difficult to evade their attacks. Ants tend to deal relatively low damage per hit, but often fight in groups to compensate.
