Ant Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught an ant! TELL ME WHERE THE QUEEN IS!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The ant itself is the strongest creature in the world in relation to its size.

  One of these diminutive fiends can carry 50 times its own bodyweight! And if it wants to lift something even larger...

  Why, it simply calls on its friends to join the effort. Creepy cooperation, I say...
