Talk:Antlion

Trivia
Are you sure it's a reference to Half Life? I've seen antlions like that way before, at games like Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy IV. --Alenonimo 19:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Take a look at the "In Popular Culture" section of the antlion wiki on Wikipedia. You are correct in that there are antlion bosses in both FFIV and FFIX. However, those antlions walk and use physical attacks. The Antlion Worker in HL2, however, has a ranged attack. It is possible that both the real-life antlion and the Antlion Worker were both reference points when Re-Logic created the Antlion. --Lordhood117 19:27, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

I've revised the entry to say that it is possible that the ranged attack may be a reference to the Antlion Worker instead of the creature in general being the reference. --Lordhood117 19:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
