The Antlion Swarmer is a flying enemy found in the Underground Desert biomes. It is a large dragonfly-like creature that looks similar to the Antlion and Antlion Charger. It should be treated with caution by newer players because of its health and knockback resistance.

Tips

• Antlion Swarmers can spawn on the surface wherever naturally-generated desert walls are present. Destroying them will stop their spawning.

Trivia

• Antlion Swarmers are actually based on adult antlions, with the Swarmers' elongated wings and body structure almost identical to the real creature.
• When flying around, they seem to emit a slight pulsating/after-image effect (akin to Shadow armor), but only when they reach max speed.
