Treasure noneSpecial AbilitiesGnaw (Ex) Giant termites can burrow through
earth and wood but not stone or metal. Their
natural attacks and acid ignore hardness of
5 or less.
Swarming (Ex) Two giant termites can share the
same space without penalty, and if both attack
the same creature they are considered to
be flanking that foe. Giant termites take no
damage from termite swarms.DescriptionGiant termites are social, burrowing
insects that create immense earthen
mounds the size of cathedrals to house
their large colonies. The colony splits
into small groups to take on various
tasks, like hunting food or collecting
dirt and clay to expand the colony’s
mound. They are destructive pests,
consuming plant matter and destroying
wooden structures, but they consume
meat as well if creatures interfere
with their cycle of demolition
and construction. Termites also
use their acid to render animals
into glue to reinforce the mound.
