An Antlion Larva is an enemy that can only be spawned in the Underground Desert when Antlion Eggs are destroyed. Its speed, jump height, occurrence in numbers, and small size make it a significant threat in the early game. It is a good source of Antlion Mandibles.

Multiple Antlion Larvae can spawn from a single egg, which can be broken when hit with weapon swings, projectiles, and similar phenomena.

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."
