The Sqwinj is believed to be an ant that would have been a queen, but due to the lair already having an established queen, this pretender to the throne became a bloated, yet mobile mutant.

Sqwinjes have a set of spikey quill-like projections at the front of their head that they use for weapons against invaders in the lair. If they have a straight line of from 20' to 60' they can charge which adds an extra d6 to the damage of their initial attack.

Once a sqwinj hits a target the quills become stuck in the victim who suffers 1d6 per round from the twisting movement of the sqwinj, until they make a save vs petrification to free themselves. The victim can do nothing other then try to get free when impaled by the sqwinj.

When a sqwinj is killed it releases an odor that draws ants to the site at a rate of 1d4 per round for 3 rounds. These arrivals will be maddened by the scent and attack intruders with a plus 1 to hit and damage for the duration of the battle.
