Description:
Blast Ants are one of the worst insects crawling on Terra Sol. They are the rank-and-file of the Blast Ant communities, led by Blast Ant Soldiers, Guards, Mages, and of course, by the Blast Ant Queen.
Blast Ants forms nomadic swarms that leave their nest after the newest generation has grown up to search for their potential next nest. There, the Queen lays new eggs that hatch into Blast Ant Larves that cannibalize on each other so they can evolve into new Blast Ants as fast as possible.
The reason for this hasty egg-laying is because any nests created by Blast Ants will gradually turn explosive due to the body-fluids that the Blast Ants generates, eventually turning the nest into a gigantic bomb that can destroy the whole swarm if they are not careful. Due to that, they have to constantly change their nest, so to prevent them from being blown sky-high.
Appearance:
The Blast Ant has the appearance of a regular ant with a striking-red exoskeleton and it has the same size as a full-grown horse.
The reason for the ant's huge size is said to prevent them from becoming too deadly. At the beginning of this race's creation, they were of the same size as ants as well, but their firepower was on the same level as it is today. The gods could not reduce this firepower, so they decided to make the ants bigger so it would be easier to spot them, plus improving the odds for the victims to hit the ants from afar.
Also, Blast Ants used to have wings, but their lethality was still too much, so the wings were removed as well.

Blast Ants have natural access to the highly-dangerous Gunpowder attribute which allows them to create explosions as will. This, however, made the gods deem them too dangerous and gave them several negative traits, such as being too heavy to jump and too big and slow to take someone by surprise.
On the other hand, the Blast Ants are capable of creating explosions simply by ramming into others, they can produce highly explosive acid, and since they are ants, they are highly capable of working with other ants. Also, they are extremely strong in fasting and traveling long distances over long time periods, which makes it easy for them to find new feeding grounds once they need to leave behind their old ones.

Agnir's comment: Yeah, right, blame it all on my design! I'm just a battle-maniac, I know that!!
