 Monster: Formian Warrior

Formian warriors are one step above formian workers in terms of rank. They are much more dangerous in combat than the workers, but should pose no real danger for adventurer, unless they are facing a whole formian swarm.

Every hour for 3 more cycles he must make another HT-1 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 2/3 HP to this poison, the victim gains a -3 penalty to ST until he heals above this threshold.
