Another species that will be tussling with fire ants in Empire of the Undergrowth's 4th tier is the big-headed ant (Pheidole morrisii).
Like many species, it has minor and major castes, but it also has a category of major often called "supersoldier" in literature. This beast has a huge head giving it a wicked bite.
The head powers huge bite force much like a leafcutter major, but in a much more awkwardly-proportioned form.
The head is very big in comparison to the body (hence the name), so although the bite is formidable the supersoldiers do tend to be a little on the clumsy side!
