Similar to the Ants, the termites have the ability to rupture themselves, releasing a poisonous glue like substance. The termites block the tunnel entrances and explode, causing their body and the glue to hold off attackers. These termites are often blocked out of their own nests by worker termites who repair the entrance to the hive while the fighting is taking place. Leaving them to fend for themselves, outside, with all of the attackers.
