Combat
An ant swarm seeks to surround and attack any living prey it encounters. A swarm deals 1d6 points of damage to any creature whose space it occupies at the end of its move. If a swarm successfully kills a creature, it will begin tearing it apart to transport back to the colony.
Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with an ant swarm in its space must succeed on a DC 11 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Skills: An ant swarm has a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Climb checks.
