FX weilding critters posted in Species, Aliens, Xenoforms & Monsters forum comment posted by derek_holland Ants domesticated aphids and other homopterans millions of years ago. Give them a better instinct on breeding their livestock and magically engineering the animals and ants could colonize new, strange habitats because their food supply can survive in such places.
Consider ants (giant or normal-sized) that adapted their aphids to feeding on kelp. The ant could be restricted to the shoreline, live in nests built of cemented sand just off shore, or could have manipulated themselves to also have gills (but that also restricts them to living only underwater).
Or ants that found a portal to the elemental plane of earth and found things close enough for the aphids to feed on. Now both the ants and aphids are slowly evolving into elemental beings themselves, to who knows what ends.
Or ant queens carrying some aphids on their mating flight and found a farm or forest on cloud islands and now war with giants and dragons over that territory.
