Ant lion

The ant lion, known in Japan as the sand hell, is a miniboss with earth affinity fought on Erd in Magical Starsign. It is the first enemy fought after the game's tutorial sequence.

Profile
The ant lion is a large creature with spikes on the surface of its skin. It has two massive claws, and a set of purple antenna. It also has two sets of jaws; one set of flat outer pinchers, and an inner set of mandibles. Its large tail carried over its body has large protruding spikes. Its eyes are blue, and have slit pupils.

Enemy
Despite having the earth starsign, the ant lion does not possess any spells. It has two physical skills; tail smack, an attack that deals damage to one member of the party, and sand blast, an attack which deals damage to all members of the party.

Bestiary entry
The ant lion lurks below the sandy waves, waiting for the pattering of little footsteps before launching out of the ground to feast on its prey.

Magical Starsign
After Lassi successfully cleared the sandstorm that was preventing her and the protagonist from moving north, the ant lion emerged from the sand behind her. When it opened its jaws to attack, the two defeated the creature in battle, allowing them to progress.

Trivia

 * Antlions are insects with uniquely predatory larvae. The design of the ant lion is somewhat similar to a real antlion larva.
