Lost and left behind by their colony, this ant gained a passion for building after trying to rebuild the nest all by themselves. They're a bit of a snob, though, and will only move into houses with enough decoration

— Bestiary (Carpenter)

The Carpenter is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following criteria has been met:

• There is an empty House.
