Antlion

The Antlion is an enemy found in Deserts during the day, and are also found in Underground Deserts. They remain stationary with their head sticking out of the ground, and will shoot sand at players when they enter their line of sight. They can only launch their projectile at an upwards angle (straight upwards or within ~45 degrees to the left or right), so approaching from lower ground means you will usually be out of their line of fire. Antlions will climb up walls if they are touching a wall. They can be rather annoying to less experienced Terraria players.

On the s and s, the Albino Antlion variant also appears.

Tips

 * Because the Antlion creates Sand Blocks as it attacks, sand is a renewable resource.
 * It has been seen in the that Antlions have somewhat rare and limited movement across the desert, instead of being entirely stationary.
 * if faced with a incline facing directly upward, Antlions will climb very slowly toward the player. It is yet unconfirmed if this happens on other versions.

Trivia

 * The Antlion is based on real life antlion larvae which dig sand pits as traps for other insects. The antlion will throw sand at escaping prey, causing its victims to fall down and tumble down into the center of the pit where the hungry antlion is waiting.
