Formian
4 variants
One part of a great whole, the Formians work seamlessly to conquer and expand their empires. Much like the ants they resemble, they swarm and overcome through overwhelming numbers. Highly stratified in society each knows their place in the swarm.
Invasive Ant-Centaurs
Each Formian is built like a rust or brass colored ant centaur. Each rank has their own unique features that suit their purposes. Every Formian is born to perform a task much like a cog in a grand machine. They exist to serve their queen and spread their hives like an inescapable tide. They work seamlessly with a shared hive mind as a force of nature.
Rank is Everything
They are a part of a greater whole, their hive like their own flesh and their queen like their soul. Formians have an instinctual need to serve their queen and those above them. Workers submit to warriors which submit to taskmasters which submit to myrmarchs who are under the queen. Even a Formian whose hive city and queen have been destroyed are often deferential to figures in power.
Split From the Hive Mind
A Formian that is allowed to adventure is split from the hive mind and is often prone to bouts of melancholy and confusion as they have no one to give them orders. If a Formian is alone due to the destruction of their hive city and queen they can often go mad and become berserkers that seek to cause harm to all of society in retribution for their loss.
