Canopy Mobs: Ant Scout

See: The Canopy

Ant Scouts are a new neutral mob that live in the First Layer of the Canopy. Ant Scouts can be seen wandering in groups of 1-6, scavenging the floor for prey. They will attack Tree Frogs, and if their group is larger than 3, they will also take down Toucans and Stalkers. They pick up the drops in their jaws and can be seen carrying the drops of their recent kill. Sometimes, they will climb up the giant flowers and corral the Aphids back to their Anthill, in order to farm them for their Honeydew. They can, during a fight, eat this Honeydew to gain Speed II for 3 seconds. They will attack the player if the player gets too close to them or their Anthill. If the player dies, they will pick up some the player's dropped inventory if they find it. These Ant Scouts will also spawn near and inside Anthills in swarms of around 20. They drop 0-2 leather, and whatever they are carrying in their jaws.
