Alien ants

[TeaKing (The modTEArator)]

isnt that just mole rats?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

Mole rats are useless, they don’t work together as well as a eusocial species should, the queens brithrate is too low, and they don’t do anything that a dozen sociable ferrets couldn’t do better.

Counter point: Mole rats are immune to cancer

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

Exactly, why waste epicness on a power that benefits the individual when you are eusocial, massive waste,

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

Because you don’t care what humans think

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

Humans aren’t eusocial, it’d be great if we could avoid cancer, like, out special ability is sorta accumulating knowledge over our lifetimes, lengthening them would be great. Same for most birds or apex predators. But eusocial creatures run on pure teamwork and there is no I in team. They’d be much better off with quick replacement of workers.

That’s what a human thinks

[miss-sagemoon (Sage (She/Her))]

I think alien ants are a requirement for any sci-fi setting
