Conjuring Ants
The Conjuring Ant, known both for its ability and the role it played in the development of Modern Magic.
The Conjuring Ant is a native of the eastern continent of Anshufrey but, thanks to ships and sailors, it spread also to the western continent of Kalash and possibly elsewhere.
The Conjuring Ants (also known as blinkers) have many similarities with the more mundane species, like the complex social structures.
The difference is that Conjuring Ants can teleport objects. When gathering in a group of three or more they can instantly transport the object they are surrounding to another group of ants. Such a group can transport an object heavy up to a coin to a distance of ten spans: it may not seem much but is equivalent to a master-level spell, like transporting a cart with horses and load many leagues away (and without a special magical focus).
Usually, the ants will create a network of groups, some will send food to another group that will forward it to another, and so on. This is similar to the supplying line of the "normal" ants but, with these big gaps, it is difficult to spot. Also difficult to spot are the nests of the colonies: since they can teleport, the nests do not have a real entrance, only small ventilation tunnels.
Ants can teleport without a receiving group and this means that Conjuring Ants can (almost literally) enter anywhere, even hermetically sealed containers. If needed, they use this ability as a defense: if something threatens the nest they will teleport some of them inside the attacker. These attacks can be massive, with many ants moving in a frantic spiral motion and "shooting" inside the enemy tens, if not hundreds, of their own.
Workers can only teleport other things but, conversely, queens and drones can only teleport themselves. When the time of mating comes, the queen and the drones will do their version of the "nuptial flight": the queen starts to quickly "blink" (short teleport) all over the nest and the drones will "blink" as well, in an attempt to intercept her.
