A formian resembles a cross between an ant and a centaur. All formians are covered in a brownish-red carapace; size and appearance differs for each variety.

Warriors communicate through the hive mind to convey battle plans and make reports to their commanders. They cannot speak otherwise.

A warrior is about is about 5 feet long and about 4-1/2 feet high at the front. It weighs about 180 pounds.

===Combat===

Formians are generally aggressive, seeking to subdue all they encounter. If they perceive even the slightest threat to their hive-city or to their queen, they attack immediately and fight to the death. Any formian also attacks immediately if ordered to do so by a superior.

'''Hive Mind ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' All formians within 50 miles of their queen are in constant communication. If one is aware of a particular danger, they all are. If one in a group is not flatfooted, none of them are. No formian in a group is considered flanked unless all of them are.

Warriors are wicked combatants, using claws, bite, and a [[SRD:Poison|poisonous]] sting all at once. Through the hive mind, they attack with coordinated and extremely efficient tactics.

A formian warrior’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]].
