This Soldier Ant Family page is about the Nintendo DS release. For the Super Famicom release, see Shiren 1 SFC:Soldier Ant Family.
For the lore page, see Shiren:Soldier Ant Family.
The Soldier Ant (Japanese: 兵隊アリ) Monster Family in 
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer consists of:
- Soldier Ant (Japanese: 兵隊アリ, Heitai Ari)
- Corporal Ant (Japanese: 隊長アリ, Taichō Ari)
- Captain Ant (Japanese: 大将アリ, Taishō Ari)
- General Ant (Japanese: 元帥アリ, Gensui Ari)
Monsters in the Soldier Ant Family are anthropomorphic ants wielding a tall spear which it wields to attack or dig through walls. With colored armored plates over its head, upper chest, shoulders and feet, its underbelly, arms, legs, and face is white. As well as a large segmented abdomen, they have two short antennae on their heads, and while most of their face is obscured by their armor, two angry scalene eyes and small fangs are visible.
The color of the monster's armored flesh depends on its level as well as the color of its spear and eyes (details).
- Olive green, orange details
- Sky blue, orange details
- Red, orange details
- Black, red details
Level 4 monsters in the Soldier Ant Family have a slightly different color scheme than levels 1 - 3. Instead of an orange staff and eyes, both of which are now red.
Monster Ability
Soldier Ants can tunnel through the walls of indoor caves at will, as if wielding an Fusion, and will do this naturally and when seeing Shiren.
When there are hallways that are unnaturally two squares wide, or long dead-end tunnels spanning the sides of the floor, it is a good indicator that there are Soldier Ants present
Effect when Sealed
Solder Ants will no longer dig through walls when Sealed.
Combat Strategy
When Shiren is inaccessible to attack around corners, Soldier Ants may decide to destroy the wall creating the corner instead of pursuing Shiren that turn. This may be troublesome in Monster Houses as the hallway entrance will be widened for multiple monsters to attack Shiren at once.
With no outstanding melee attacks or abilities, Soldier Ants are basic monsters though stronger than Mamel Family and Chintala Family but weaker than Tiger Uho Family. Understandably, they become relatively more of a physical threat at higher levels, particularly 4 with an average attack of 30 and defense of 20.
Alternatively, low-level Soldier Ant Family Meat can be thrown to transform a Monster into a more easily defeated form, stripping it of its offensive and defensive capabilities and any special abilities. However, thrown Items can miss and so this decision should be made before the Monster is at close range in case of failure.
Meat strategy
As a Soldier Ant, Shiren will be able to dig through walls infinitely, as if wielding an unbreakable Pickaxe. This can help Shiren access Vaults as well as digging shortcuts through the map to evade Monsters or to reach the Stairs.
There are some benefits to consuming any Monster Meat in general:
- Eating any Monster Meat will restore Fullness 10 points, with the exception of Hen Meat, which will restore Fullness by 100 points.
- As a monster, Items in Shiren's inventory cannot be accessed and therefore items cannot be: equipped, unequipped, put down, thrown, eaten, dropped, Projectiles, inserted or removed from Jars while Jars also cannot be pressed.
- However, Items and Gitan can still be stolen by Thief-type monsters, items can still be Fusion, become cursed, be turned into Big Riceball, become Miscellaneous Items, be changed into Weeds or be knocked away.
Monster Meat Description
- Soldier Ant meat: Eat this to change into a Soldier Ant. You'll be able to dig through walls.
- Corporal Ant meat: Eat this to change into a Corporal Ant. You'll be able to dig through walls.
- Captain Ant meat: Eat this to change into a Captain Ant. You'll be able to dig through walls.
- General Ant meat: Eat this to change into a General Ant. You'll be able to dig through walls.
