The Antlion Larva is an enemy that is only spawned when Antlion Eggs are destroyed. Its speed, jump height, occurrence in numbers, and small size make it a significant threat in the early game.

Multiple Antlion Larvae can spawn from a single egg, which breaks when hit with any weapon or tool. Unlike the Alien Larva, Antlion Larvae will not grow into an Antlion, Antlion Charger, or Antlion Swarmer.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Antlion Larva: "Freshly hatched from their eggs, larval antlions should not be underestimated. Though young, they are still very aggressive."
