Pack Attack — The alate ant deals an additional 3d6 precision damage to any creature within reach of at least two of the ant's allies.
Pheromone Spray (emotion, mental) — The alate ant sprays a cloud of pheromones in a 15-foot cone. Non-ant creatures in the cone must succeed at a DC 37 Will save or become Confused for 1d4 rounds (1 minute on a critical failure). It can't use Pheromone Spray again for 1d4 rounds.
Red Ant Venom (poison) — While a creature is enfeebled from this poison, it is Confused (this confusion is an emotion, enchantment, and mental effect).
