Barbari-Ants are giant bloodthirsty insects that serve as the main antagonists of Amphibia episode "Marcy at the Gates".
Appearance[]
Giant ants with glowing coral sticking out of their heads and bodies covered in barnacles, some have light blue glowing corals while others have orange glowing corals.
Powers and Abilities[]
Barbari-Ants are strong, fast, vicious and have powerful pincers. Also, they are as bouncy as trampolines when Marcy used them to get to the Barbari-Ant queen.
The queen is a lot bigger and stronger than the rest of the Barbari-Ants with razor sharp claws, and while she is nearly blind, she has impeccable hearing.
Biography[]
Anne and Plantars then make their way towards the gates. When Anne shouts for someone to let them in, a newt slides a hatch open above them and informs them they can't enter because Newtopia's closed. After questioned again, the newt replies they won't let any outsiders through the walls until the Barbari-ant infestation is dealt with. Suddenly, one of the ants erupts from the ground and begins attacking Sprig, but the family manages to fend it off by throwing Hop Pop towards it and using his croak throat to knock it away. The Barbari-ant then retreats and scurries back into the large hole it came from.
Unfortunately, their celebration is cut short when more Barbari-ants begin digging out of the ground and circling around Anne and the Plantars. Suddenly, bags of oil are tossed around the Plantars and Anne, as Marcy shoot a fire arrow from the top of the Newtopian gates that ignites the oil to catch fire, causing all of the Barbari-ants to retreat.
As everyone begins getting to work, Anne soon pushes Marcy out of the way from a nearby falling rock, as they manage to stay out of sight from the queen by hiding behind the rock itself. Annoyed by this, Marcy states she was about to move out of the way on her own, but Anne disagrees, believing she needs to make sure Marcy stays out of danger just like back home. Marcy reminds Anne though that they're not back home now, and she's managed to take care of herself up until now with the Newts. Meanwhile as Sprig continues to plant the stinkshrooms, a nearby Barbari-ant egg suddenly cracks open and begins attacking Sprig, causing him to shout out and alert the queen.
The Queen then lunges at Sprig and eats him whole, before screeching and calling even more Barbari-ants to arrive. Marcy then points out that Sprig is still alive since Barbari-ants take longer periods of time to digest their food as she then proceeds to go save him, but Anne stops her once more. Anne asks her to stay put and suggests that she could save Sprig instead, but Marcy reminds her that she's the most knowledgeable with Barbari-ant biology and therefore most fit for the job, but Anne continues to be persistent in believing she can still do it in her place.
Frustrated, Marcy demands to know why she won't let her do it, to which Anne then tearfully admits she had just got her back, and she doesn't want to lose her again. Marcy then promises Anne that she can do it as she proceeds to bounce her way towards the queen on the Barbari-ants' backs, knowing they have incredibly bouncy bodies. Once Marcy is also eaten by the queen, she manages to make her throw up both her and Sprig, with Marcy now having gained Sprig's trust. Marcy then shoots an arrow at a nearby rock to swing them safely to the ground, but the queen instantly slices the rope, causing them to crash to the ground as they're once again surrounded by the ants.
Luckily, the stinkshrooms begin to go off in the nick of time, causing the queen and the rest of the Barbari-ants to flee from the group as they tunnel away from Newtopian grounds.
