This article is about Titanomyrma, not to be confused with 
|
The Titanomyrma (Ty-tan-o-mur-mah), a giant ant, is one of the creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved, added to the game on the 18th of July, 2015.
Basic Info
Dossier
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.
- Wild
Titanomyrma is one of the smaller creatures on the Island; a frightening thought, when you realize it is the size of a dog. A hive-minded carnivore, Titanomyrma is aggressive on sight to humans and their creature companions. When attacked or threatened, it releases a chemical which alerts all other Titanomyrma in a large range to help fight the aggressor. While small, Titanomyrma remain a threat because of their bite. Titanomyrma mandibles produce a toxic venom that causes loss of stamina, preventing escape and increasing the chance of losing consciousness. I've seen two varieties of Titanomyrma: Drones and Soldiers. Drones are smaller, faster, and land-bound, with the intent to harvest for the colony. Soldiers are larger, slower, have wings, and they defend the colony. If Titanomyrma is akin to hive insects, there must be queens too, but I've yet to encounter such a variant.
- Domesticated
Because of its hive mentality, I've not seen any successfully tamed Titanomyrma on the Island yet. Fortunately for lone survivors, separated Titanomyrma can be easily picked off for a small supply of chitin among other natural resources.
Behavior
Titanomyrmas are very aggressive, and as the Dossier states, come in two varieties: Soldiers, with wings, and Drones that scuttle about the ground. Despite being much larger than you would expect of an ant, they're still quite small (about the size of a Dodo, but shorter), and their tendency to spawn in areas with grass makes them difficult to locate before they attack.
They generally spawn in groups of 5-7 with 2-3 Soldiers and the rest as Drones. Their biggest threat is their ability to attack by surprise, swarming an unsuspecting victim. But any survivor that sees them coming could fend off a large amount of them with a 
Spear (provided it doesn't break) or a 
Pike, as they have very little health, often going down in one hit, even when level 50-60.
The ants are also a great source of 
Chitin for survivors not well-equipped enough, or not brave enough, to go after Pulmonoscorpius.
Appearance
Titanomyrma come in two variants: Soldiers and drones. The former bear a resemblance to wasps or hornets, complete with aggressive buzzing. The latter resemble more typical ants. They are quite large, even for their genus, but still vastly dwarfed by the rest of the ARK's wildlife.
Color Scheme and Regions
This section displays the Titanomyrma's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Titanomyrma. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Titanomyrma will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Titanomyrma's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Titanomyrma's "head and thorax" magenta.

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Titanomyrma.
General
Titanomyrma almost always attack in swarms, and generally it will be the soldiers that you encounter first, as they fly faster than the drones can crawl. The sound of buzzing insect wings will clue you in to their approach.
Strategy
Soldiers will fly around your head biting you while drones will head straight for your feet. Stabbing into the air with a spear/pike can dispatch the soldiers, while backpedalling while stabbing at the ground can dispatch the drones. Most players will be able to out-walk the drones unless encumbered, so the real danger with Titanomyrma is the quickness of the flying soldiers and their attacking numbers. Additionally, any Dino with an attack that has a large area of effect (such as a 
Triceratops) can take out multiple Titanomyra at a time very easily. If all else fails, Titanomyrma will not follow a player in the water, so take a swim if you need to escape/fight back. 
Beelzebufo will just crush them with not only AoE attacks but also insane multipliers against them, bonus it gives 
Cementing Paste.
Weaponry
The spear and pike are both effective due to their reasonable range. Be careful using a spear though, as it can potentially break while fending off a swarm. Ranged weaponry is questionable when dealing with soldiers, as they fly too fast for accurate aiming, but drones are easily dispatched while backpedaling with a bow.
Dangers
The biggest threat of Titanomyrma is their bite. A bite from Titanomyrma will poison the player and cause their stamina to slowly decrease, preventing an escape, or increasing the possibility of falling unconscious due to stamina loss. Additionally, due to their speed and tendency to attack in swarms, it is difficult for players to avoid a bite (especially new players).
Weakness
Titanomyrma have very little health. Even at high levels, it only takes a few spear hits to dispatch one. Titanomyrma also cannot swim, which makes the water a safe alternative to launch an attack. If you somehow manage to get a drone into the water, it will stay in place until it drowns.
Notes/Trivia
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Titanomyrma, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
- As of patch 188.0, Titanomyrma will not follow the player into the water.
- The Dino Dossier was revealed on 06/29/2015 on Steam [1]
- The dossier might give indication of a possible new boss creature, similar to how Broodmother Lysrix was first mentioned in the dossier of the Spider.
- The dossier states that Titanomyrma is the size of a dog, but in reality, it was only two inches long.
- The dossier states the it cannot be tamed due to its hive mentality, despite the Giant Bee being tamable and also having a hive mentality.
- Titanomyrma parvagigan means "Large ant that is small among giants".
- Contrary to the dossier, Titanomyrma of both castes will attack players without provocation.
- Interestingly enough, the quick info box on the dossier states that it is a carnivore, but the main text states it is a herbivore.
- Is one of three creatures currently able to be harvested by Beelzebufo for Cementing Paste. The others being Jug Bug and Meganeura
