While within 30 feet of another giant sugar ant, both ants know everything that the other is aware of. This effect can be passed to different giant sugar ants, allowing one to know information from another that's far away if enough ants are between the two. ACTIONS Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage, and if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its next turn.

A greater sugar ant is exactly what it sounds like. They are very rarely seen on the Material Plane, but on The Neo Greater Material Plane they can be quite a nuisance to lesser folk that aren't the size of literal deities. While one can be easily bested, it's a bad idea to stumble into an anthill, which can be filled with several dozen of them at best and upwards of hundreds at worst.
