- A formian resembles a strange, centaur-like creature with the body and head of a giant ant, but with humanoid forelimbs. Their bodies are encased in a brownish-red, black, or white carapace. They are not cruel, but live in a strict, regimented society. These dimensional travelers come from a plane devoted to law, and their alignment is usually lawful neutral. Formian colonies are inhabited by workers, who make up most of the population; taskmasters, who drive the workers; soldiers, who fiercely protect the colony and queen; myrmarchs, who are intelligent enough to have learned the use of magic; and the queen, who leads the whole colony. They are ruthlessly expansionist, though not actually evil.
- Formians are strangely reminiscent of ants, except that they're man-sized and have humanoid limbs. Lore states that they originate in another plane, but what suffices to most adventurers is that where there's one, there's a hiveful, and they all are of one mind regarding intruders. The workers may not appear so bad, but they're always guarded by warriors with fighting skills and myrmarchs that wield magic in addition to hitting hard. All formians are naturally resistent to physical and cold damage thanks to their hard, protective carapaces. They are also immune to poison and sneak attack. As if this wasn't enough, the soldiers and myrmarchs are resistant to magic and the latter also regenerate. Do not underestimate their intelligence and spot checks just because they look like bugs! All of them are clever, and their queen is said to see true.
