Behaviour
- Charges
- Multiplies its movement speed while closing mid-range distance, then drops back to base speed on contact. Freezing effects are the only reliable brake.
- Boss
- Attacks on a 0.7-second cadence instead of the standard 1.1, and announces itself in the message log on spawn. One instance may be alive in its region at a time.

Location
Colossal Ant is not bound to a named region and appears on the general wilderness table, weighted by the biome you are standing in.
Strategy
- Fight in contact or from well outside its approach band; the middle distance is where it doubles speed.
- Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
- At 90 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
