Antmen are one of the races of tribal [[animal people]] who can be found in caverns. They can form crude civilizations and usually have a couple of piles of random items lying around.

Antmen form worker, soldier, drone and queen castes. Antmen workers are the most common antmen, no larger than a kobold. Drones are as big as workers and have the ability to fly. Soldiers can grow almost as large as a dwarf and will defend their queen at all costs. The queen, as big as a lion, is the only breeding female among antmen and her only task is producing new soldiers, workers and drones. Queen ant women are the largest (and therefore strongest) companions that can be recruited by non-elf adventurers, aside from escaped HFS.

They are intelligent enough to use crude weapons such as blowguns. They can be deadly from their numbers and use of weapons, but a solid military effort can kill them off. Their blowguns can inflict mild poison effects on creatures, such as dizziness 

which causes them to be less effective in combat and slower at work

like mining. Although they can not destroy buildings, they are able to open doors.

Compared to most humanoids, antmen have an extremely short lifespan, allowing a patient player to simply wait for them to die of old age rather than confront them.

Some dwarves like antmen for their mystery.

Recently a peculiar group of humans were so taken by antmen that they wanted to experience what it would be like as each class. They designed a sort of armor that allows its user to become the size of any antman, even a worker.
