A large predator who hunts alone, getting by on a combination of vision, venom (formic acid) and sheer ferocity. They prey on bees and other ant species across the wildlife refuge. Their nest is large and dome shaped. There are usually several guards stationed at the entrances. They are aggressive, capable of jumping and biting repeatedly causing very painful stings.
