Hi #nethackwiki!

Some text for [[User:Kernigh bot]] to mess with:
 
  
: <span class="nhsym clr-magenta">L</span> ''Lich.'' Many players like to genocide liches. A lich is very dangerous because it may cast dangerous spells, then become invisible and teleport away. Liches may curse your stuff! The master lich and the arch-lich are more dangerous.

Testing simple tabs:
  
: <span class="nhsym clr-blue">a</span> ''Ant.'' See below.

'''Ants''' are a group of [[monster]]s in [[NetHack]] represented by the overall symbol {{white|a}}.  Due to their high intrinsic speed and somewhat powerful attacks they result in the deaths of many inexperienced players, leading to their proverbial nickname of Team Ant.  They are the leading cause of death on [[nethack.alt.org]], and it has become common practice in [[Freenode|#nethack]] to exclaim "Go Team Ant!" whenever [[Rodney (bot)|Rodney]] announces a death at the hands of an ant.
 
 
==Team Ant== rules!!!
 
 
Team Ant is comprised of [[giant ant]]s, [[soldier ant]]s, and [[fire ant]]s. Whether [[killer bee]]s, [[queen bee]]s, and [[giant beetle]]s are a member of Team Ant is a point of contention; while they share the {{white|a}} glyph, they aren't actually ants. Furthermore, killer bees, who appear in huge swarms, are at least as formidable as giant ants, who are rarely seen in a group outside of an [[special room|ant hole]].

A '''soldier ant''' is a fast, very deadly ant.
+
<references/>
  
Soldier ants are a major cause of early [[death]]. This is because of their high [[intrinsic]] [[speed]], and tendency to appear in packs. (Some players die to [[giant ant]]s, but those deaths occur less often as soldier ants can do significantly more [[damage]].)
 
  
There are several strategies for players who encounter soldier ants early in the game.
+
test nowrap
* Run to the [[stairway]] (hopefully, the stairway up) as soon as the ant is spotted. If possible, disable the ant (with a [[wand of sleep]]) before fleeing. Soldier ants are very [[fast]], so use any [[escape item]]s or spells that will help you get to the stairs more quickly. Close [[door]]s to block the ant, if you are strong.  Weak characters might not be able to close the door in time.
 
* Attack the ant with your best items. Use your best offensive [[wand]]s against the ant. (A [[wand of striking]] is likely to miss the ant; it is a poor choice.)
 
* Another option is to engrave Elbereth.  A fleeing ant is less deadly than one attacking you.  With Elbereth, you can use the spare turns to attack the ant in melee, throw weapons, cast spells, or find an escape route.
 
 
 
 
 
Soldier ants are a nickname for [[Wikipedia:army ant|army ant]]s in [[real life]]. Although it is possible that [[human]]s have been killed by army or driver ants, it is extremely unlikely, as they are little bigger than ordinary ants. They do, however, travel in very large groups.

The '''fire ant''', {{red|a}}, is a [[monster]] in [[NetHack]]. It is a member of the proverbial [[ant|Team Ant]] and as such can result in the deaths of many an inexperienced player due to its high intrinsic speed and fire attacks (although not as deadly as the [[soldier ant]]).

== "Go Team Ant" ==
 
  
Since soldier ants are the highest single cause of death on [[nethack.alt.org]], it has become something of a cliche to say "Go team a!" or "Go Team Ant!" on [[nethack (IRC)|#nethack]] on irc.freenode.net, NAO's channel, whenever [[Rodney (bot)|Rodney]] announces a death by the hands of a soldier ant.

== Eating the corpses ==
 
  
Ant corpses are edible and non-poisonus.  Eating the corpse of a fire ant gives you a 20% chance to gain the [[fire resistance]] [[intrinsic]] and is a common source in the absence of [[red dragon]]s and [[fire giant]]s.
