===Blood Ants (Sand Tick)===
The Blood Ants are a species that is as a whole predominantly male; reaching a maximum size of 2 inches a piece they tend to use swarm tactics and sheer numbers to accomplish their goals. Within the nest only a single female(6 inches, roughly fist sized) lives, any others are taken once they are mature enough to reproduce to foster their own Blood Cacti. Blood Cacti tend to reach a height of about 6 feet and a diameter of 3 feet at its base. Within it are triangular "bloodcombs" where the blood that the Blood Ants collect are stored and processed. Entire fields of Blood Cacti can be found all of which are related to one another from a singular source hive. 

The Blood Ants are capable of short burst of flight like their brethren Ticks and use this to latch onto any unsuspecting beasts genital areas to siphon off blood en masse. The high diet of blood has caused them to produce a Carmine acid(used often in red dyes) and has changed their overall color to a deep red, this does little for the creatures camouflage in the desert but in terms of hunting the Hordes color seems to be as effective as a singular larger predator. Scarring off pack animals to leave he weakest behind to be swarmed and siphoned of blood within the hour. 

The Blood Honey the B. Ants produce is their entire livelihood, it feeds and waters them in the harsh desert landscape and despite its nature is often the target of ignorant Camelback variants due to its nutritious nature. The Blood Ants will protect their Cacti with mass aggression stabbing and pinch any creature they can find. But are easily placated by the Skunk Camels stench(much like smoking out a beehive) and is thus an easy target for the beast.
