Spiderants are a matriarchal hive species adapted to Pandora’s harsh and various biomes. The dirt mound exits from their hives are a proverbial tip of the iceberg, as spiderant colonies can build vast subterranean cave structures. Being burrowing creatures, spiderants can also emerge from fresh ground, as well as from premade den exits.
Within spiderant society, tasks are accomplished by spiderant species that have adapted to their purpose, so you’ll find many different varieties. They are all distinguished by their odd, near-symmetrical quad-leg array, which allows agile movement in any direction. The hardened front of the forelegs and the rigid helmet on the carapace provide solid protection to spiderants from the front, as their critical-vulnerable area is their squishy abdomen. This area is always protected, therefore, if they are oriented toward their aggressor.
Being hive creatures, spiderants always congregate and attack in groups. The strongest spiderants can call others to their aid.
