Anteater - Anti-ant sting
Here's a very special ingredient!
The anti-ant is actually an arthropod, a cousin of scorpions and spiders. Although it has a stinger like a scorpion, it can weave even though it is not as fluent as a spider. Like some of its cousins, the anti-ant is a sociable arthropod, living in huge colonies, but it is a very poor builder. Its method of adaptation has therefore developed with the presence of other animals: anteaters. After an anteater had passed through, the anteaters could move into an old ant colony, the pheromones released by the new colony tacitly informing them that no more ants could feed the mammal.
But the trials and joys of entropy being what they are, there came a day when there were no more ants and thus no more anteaters. I do not know how the anti-ants developed their transformative abilities, but as no more anteaters could provide them with a new home, they have migrated and stung other animals, including mortals, to serve them.
This is how humans, poorly protected while they sleep, find themselves stung on the tongue by an anti-ant, creating a new anteater.

Some errors may have crept into the text during the transition from my compendium to the public grimoire.
Anti-ants give off pheromones that anteaters do not like, thus creating sufficient protection for anti-ants against this type of predator. This does not prevent other predators from acting against anti-ant colonies, of course.
But it is indeed an overpopulation of anti-ant that can lead to the disappearance of ants and subsequently of anteaters, which is why anti-ant have migrated to other places that have ants but no anteaters to be able to settle in.
(Thank you)

Interesting response.
*Speaks for itself while taking notes.*
It seems that the subject is therefore suffering from visual bias, a bird-like version of pareidolia.
It might be interesting to observe the experiment of changing the specimen into another species, perhaps an amphibian, to see whether or not this ‘racial pareidolia’ is confirmed.
