This bloated, red creature has a nimbus of fire. Periodically, a large, bright, red ant emerges from the creature's rear.

Special Abilities
Burning Breath Weapon (Ex) If a victim of a fiery ant queen's breath weapon fails its Reflex save, it catches fire and takes burn damage.
Fiery Ant Command (Su) A fiery ant queen can directly command its colony out to the extent of its telepathy range. This grants all fiery ants within range the benefit of the Lookout feat, and allows the ants to use basic tactics in combat. A fiery ant given a directive by the fiery ant queen will follow that directive even when it exits the range of the queen's telepathy.
Fiery Ant Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 17; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d4 Con; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Spawn Fiery Ant (Ex) A fiery ant queen spawns 3 to 6 fiery ants per day. In combat, it can expedite the process, spawning a fiery ant every 1d4 rounds.
A fiery ant queen is a living portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire and fuses the essence of that plane to fleshy material to create a colony of fiery ants. The queen spawns fiery ants for protection and as a means to procure food it otherwise cannot gather for itself. A fiery ant queen is 4 feet long and weighs 180 pounds.
A fiery ant queen spawns several fiery ants per day, depending on the availability of food, with 1 out of 10,000 new fiery ants becoming a new queen. The new fiery ant queen leaves with a pair of fiery ants to form a new colony, while the original fiery ant queen remains with its colony for roughly a year when the colony devastates the immediate area. Once the colony depletes the food supply, the fiery ant queen takes its most powerful fiery ants to another location to start a new colony, leaving the old colony to self-destruct.
