Antlion Eggs

Antlion Eggs are background objects that are found in naturally-generated clusters in the Underground Desert. They spawn an Antlion Larva when hit with nearly any tool, weapon, or projectile.

Tips

 * Due to their abundance in the Underground Desert, it is advisable to explore slowly and avoid swinging/shooting weapons unnecessarily. Large swarms of Antlion Larva are deadly to early-game players.
 * The eggs have a similar risk to that of Rolling Cactus, which is also triggered by most projectiles.
 * If a character is powerful enough to defend against the larva, it may be a good idea to destroy these as you go. This can remove the possibility that an egg will activate during combat with a different enemy, which could potentially overwhelm the player.

Trivia

 * This is one of the three items that can be destroyed by nearly anything, the others are Rolling Cacti, and Larvae.
