Antlion

The Antlion is an enemy found in Deserts during the day. They remain stationary with their head sticking out of the sand, and will shoot sand at players. 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 the wall.

On the Console and Mobile editions, 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 mobile version that Antlions have somewhat rare and limited movement across the desert, instead of being entirely stationary.

Trivia

 * The Antlion is based off real life antlion larva which dig sand pits as traps for other insects. When a prey attempts to escape, the antlion will throw sand at it to make it lose its footing and tumble into the center where the hungry antlion is waiting.

History

 * Projectile damage reduced from 20 to 10
