User:Happypal/Antlion

Antlions are mobs found in deserts. They're the first mob to shoot non-magical projectiles at the player, which are affected by gravity. They remain stationary with their head sticking out of the sand, and will shoot sand at you. 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 usally be out of their firing range.
