BACKGROUND:
Armored Ants are an arm of the Shogun class of ants living in Land's End. The
most resilient of the Shoguns left to live in Barrel Volcano where they earn
their living by mining ores in this dangerous area, over the years they started
their own clan and became the Armored Ants. They wear similar armour to the Shoguns with an orange headress to show their loyalty to the Armored ant clan.
Shoguns and Armored Ants maintain a trading relationship with each other, but are mainly independent. While Smithy was able to bribe the Shoguns into fighting Mario and his friends, the Armored Ants have no natural predators and didn't
need any of Smithy's new weaponry. Many of them did fight Mario anyway since they are extremely territorial, although they have learned to live with other species in the Volcano in peace. Many even work together with the Magmi living
in the Volcano.

STATS AND STRATEGIES:
Games: Super Mario RPG
HP: 230
Offense: 130 (Normal) 24 (Magic)
Defense: 120 (Normal) 80 (Magic)
Speed: Slow.
Items: 5 coins, sometimes a Defense Up in battle.
Points: 30
Attack Pattern:They use a mix of regular attacks, Vigor Up (increases attack power) and Endo Bubble (may cause fear).
Basic Strategies:It will take a fair number of timed hits to kill these guys, so you may want to leave them until the end of the fight. You can take them out quickly with Mallow's Snowy attack. Don't waste Fire Bombs on these guys or any other enemies in Barrel Volcano.
Advanced Strategies: Besides Snowy, Geno's attacks, Star Rain, and Bowser Crush are okay. They can cause quite a bit of damage, so block their attacks by pressing A as they're about mid-way through swinging their axes. Use Mallow's Snowy if you want to plow through most enemies in Barrel Volcano quickly.
