Siafu are a type of African ants known for their large size. They, unlike other kinds of army ants, build ant mounds. They travel in large groups covering large expanses of ground. On one occasion a tourist's death was related to these ants. They can kill infants and chickens, but usually eat worms. Colonel Dovchenko was killed by these insects in The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. However, siafu don't live in Peru and aren't nearly as big as they were in the film.

  • In 1957, while Indiana Jones and his comrades were trying to flee from Soviets led by Irina Spalko in the jungles of South America, the car containing Spalko and her driver crashed into an anthill, home to a large colony of the siafu. Spalko pulled a pistol on Jones and his company, only to notice a rather large ant crawl onto her hand and bite her. She retaliated by squishing it with her bare hand, but then more ants started pouring into the car from underneath, prompting the driver and Spalko to start stomping as many as they could. Seeing the rapidly-deteriorating situation, the two fled, but while Spalko got to safety in a nearby tree, the ants swarmed the driver, and he was pulled down and eaten alive. One ant did climb onto Spalko, but she killed it by squishing it with her knees. Ho

Seeing the rapidly-deteriorating situation, the two fled, but while Spalko got to safety in a nearby tree, the ants swarmed the driver, and he was pulled down and eaten alive. One ant did climb onto Spalko, but she killed it by squishing it with her knees. However, this affair agitated the ants, and a vast swarm of then began raiding the forest floor. While Jones and the Russian colonel Antonin Dovchenko where having a fistfight, the swarm approached them but Harold Oxley revealed the Crystal Skull of Akator before them, causing the ants to diverge, and create an empty patch for Dovchenko and Jones to fight on. Eventually, Jones got the upper hand by beating the head of Dovchenko with a wooden trunk, causing the dazed colonel to fall backwards, into the antswarm. Subsequently, the ants swarmed him, and he was pulled into their nest and devoured. The ants subsequently dispersed, allowing Jones and his companions to proceed.
