Unique proposal: Myrmecia, Champion of Formicids
Pyriformis is, as the title suggests, a unique formicid. He is somewhat tougher than Wiglaf.
My reasoning for this unique is as follows. I think that most or all playable races should have a unique monster to represent them. While formicids did not work as an ordinary monsters, a unique one would be interesting.
I have completely coded this unique, and will probably put a patch out on mantis once I get some feedback/suggestions.
Pyriformis has 16 HD, 160 HP, and gives about 1900 XP.
He burrows, and sees invisible.
He has 60 MR.
He hits for 34 damage, not including his weapon.
He has 3 AC and 10 EV before armour calculations.
He casts swiftness.
He uses chain or plate armour, a large shield, and a triple sword, exe axe, or bardiche.
He appears on D15, or anywhere in Spider or Snake.
His name comes from the scientific name of the bulldog ant, Myrmecia Pyriformis, which holds the guinness world record for most dangerous ant.
