Myrmidons

The Myrmidons are a complex and varied clansqroup of Little People. There is a single form found throughout TreesLand and the Thunderfields and three highly variant clans in the Mistflower Jungles.
 

Myrmidons, for the most part, live throughout TreesLand, from the Thunderfields to the Darkwoods. They are Silver Alliance and take no part in the War, thus being welcome anywhere. Myrmidons dig enourmous underground nests for themselves but are delighted to use the excess dirt in public works projects for other Little People. For this they may charge a toll or receive a one-time Gift or Merit, but all multi-racial cities of the Little People feature Myrmidons!

Myrdimons are a caste race. They have Workers, Soldiers, Drones, Queens and Nurses. The most commonly seen Workers are Centaur-like, with arms attached to a chest and four legs to a thorax, followed by a protruding ant abdomen. The first set of legs are semi-functional as hands. Workers are strong and not too bright females, but they *are* individuals, despite total loyalty to the hive. Soldiers are fully bipedal and have a set of arms devoted to mayhem and other for carrying weapons. Myrmidon Nurses have a special inborn knowledge of Lesser Alchemy, referred to as HiveAlchemy. All forms have antenae, which they frequently fazz each other, and compound eyes.
