Re: Summon Myrmidon or Summon Myrmidon?
"Myrmidon" is the name for the 6th level of original D&D's "Fighting Man" class. I always just assumed that TFT wizards summoned characters out of D&D campaigns to use as meat shields...

For the record, though, the intent was always Human, not Bug.

Re: Summon Myrmidon or Summon Myrmidon?
Due to the entry on them as Hymenopterans, I always had the spell summon the bug. Intended or not, it was my test for whether a player knew TFT well... And for novices, it was a way to make them waste a turn attempting to disbelieve a summon.

Unfortunately the Hymenopterans didn't make it into the modern TFT :-(
