-A snow ant, {{monsym|snow ant}}, is the new member of the proverbial [[Team Ant]] in [[SLASH'EM]] and [[UnNetHack]].  It is identical to the [[fire ant]] except that its attacks do [[cold]] damage instead of [[fire]] damage, it conveys [[cold resistance]] instead of [[fire resistance]], and it is not [[Infravision|infravisible]].

-The techniques for disposing of other ants also apply to the snow ant: make judicious use of [[Elbereth]], [[wand|attack wands]] and [[ranged attack]]s; try to fight them in a corridor or (preferably) near the up staircase; and don't be afraid to run away or use escape items. Like most instances, their cold attack has a chance to destroy [[potion]]s; the attack is affected by [[magic cancellation]].
