The first vermin in today's lineup, the zebrull ant comes from this set of mashup images. The image makes it seem kinda pathetic, but its bite, poison, and inherent ability to avoid being hit make it a decent low-level opponent.
High noon (well, CST) marks the midpoint of the mashup marathon. Yet another monster will make its appearance in an hour!
This gigantic ant has a striped pattern similar to that of a zebra, which somehow makes it difficult to fully focus on the ant.

The creators of the zebrull ant initially regarded their creation a failure, since the creatures demonstrated the same lack of intelligence found in the ant component. However, they revised their reaction when they determined that the striped pattern on the creatures made them difficult to target. Those who kept the zebrull ants use them as shock troops or front-line combatants, while those who did not unleashed the creatures into the wild, where they have devastated great swaths of land.
