16
17A family of ants who are Sniffles' arch-enemies. Small but surprisingly deadly.
18----
19* AmicableAnts: Played straight with each other, but inverted to a ''horrifying'' degree with Sniffles.
20* AntAssault: They're a family of ants that tortures and kills Sniffles, who is supposed to be their natural predator.
21* TheBadGuyWins: The Ants always succeed in murdering and torturing Sniffles.
22* ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily: The family consists of three kids (a baby, an older brother and their sister) and their single mother. As for [[DisappearedDad the dad]]? Some fans assume he died prior to the series; most likely eaten by Sniffles.
23* AxCrazy: The ColdBloodedTorture they put Sniffles through (especially in "Tongue in Cheek") isn't something those who are sound of mind would do.
24* CharacterCatchphrase: They only say "AAAH!! AAAH!!"
25* ColdBloodedTorture: They inflict downright brutal torture on Sniffles whenever he tries to eat them in longer, more complex and painful ways then even Fliqpy (a {{sadist}}ic serial killer) does to his targets.
26* DisproportionateRetribution: Yes, Sniffles is usually trying to eat them, but the Ants take their retaliation ''far'' beyond self-defense by [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing and killing him as painfully and brutally as possible.]]
27* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They care a lot about each other, but are ''[[ColdBloodedTorture horrible]]'' to Sniffles.
28* FourLeggedInsect: They also lack antennae, except the baby ant who has one antenna on his head like a single strand of hair.
29* HeroAntagonist: Sympathetic or not, Sniffles is played as the villain against the ants as he is the main instigator of their fights (sans "Suck It Up") and the ants mainly attack out of self-defense -- albeit extremely [[DisproportionateRetribution disproportionately]].
30* MamaBear: In "A Hard Act to Swallow", the mother ant attacks and goes inside Sniffles to rescue her youngest offspring, who was eaten at the beginning of the episode.
31* NonMammalianHair: The mother and daughter ant have hair, although they're not mammals.
32* PutOnABus: Since "Tongue in Cheek", they have made no further appearances in the show.
33* RedIsViolent: The brother ant wears a red cap and was specifically the one who caused Sniffles the worst death in the show's history via mind control.
34* {{Sadist}}: Not only do they torture Sniffles in ways that would make even Fliqpy (a serial killer who's an example of this trope himself) wince, they clearly enjoy doing so, judging by how they always smile while torturing him.
35* SatelliteCharacter: Sniffles is the only character they ever interact with.
36* ShoutOut: The mother ant has the exact same [[BeehiveHairdo hairdo]] as [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]].

46* DemotedToExtra: Hasn't made a starring role since "Idol Curiosity" in 2006.
47* {{Expy}}: Of the [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Fertility Idol]]. Its likeness is very similar to it.
48* EvenEvilHasStandards: It was willing to pay for the taxi's fare in "Idol Curiosity" rather than just killing the driver.
49* RealityWarper: The Idol can bend the laws of physics - whether it be body-piercing coils or sentient earthquakes - just to kill any of the main characters.
