I got thinking about area specific mobs (like wolf's) and then I thought about the desert how there is so much sand and cacti but not much else. So I though a Giant Ant Lion. It would be at the bottom of a smooth pit, by smooth I mean instead of a blockey hole it would go like a cone in the ground. To do this there could be a liquid version of sand, by liquid I mean have liquid flowing properties. When you kill the Giant Ant Lion it drops every item it has gathered from eating other mobs. It should spawn in the day time only because it doesn't move.
tell me what you think, comment on how it could be better and i'm sorry if this has been posted before
I prefer the Ant Lions from the Half-Life series compared to the Terraria inspired Ant Lions. They respond to movement on the sand and attack in packs.
Ant-lions are real life animals, derpity derpda hurrr.
As awesome as Half-Life 2 is, and as awesome as Terraria sounds, I wish people could actually check what the suggestion is actually inspired by, rather than assuming it's a rip-off/copy/whatever of their favourite game.
Indeed. Although I will say when I hear Antlion, I immediately think SimAnt. The antlions in that were terrifying when I was 7. I definitely wouldn't want to tangle with one of those in MC, especially if they were giant. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
I want it, this would be the first mob that I consider "creepy"

What I see from Ant Lions are me going on G mod and rapidly killing them either through the enviorment or by some other means (Such as a crowbar). And unless Minecraft gets a Phys gun and Gravity Gun, or all that stuff, Heck no.
Inb4 they try to argue saying this ones bigger.
/thread indeed.
No I have never argued that at all I just assumed an ant lion hadn't been done before. I am sorry about that but I am not sorry that I posted this idea though in that thread it is indeed an ant lion but they are both different. I looked at that post and the ant lion there is more of an aggressive sneak attack monster were mine just stays in place and waits like an actual ant lion.
Damn, terraria, why u no make antlions like from Half-Life 2??
In half life 2, walking on sand in certain levels cause them to jump up and assault you. They are the most annoying little ......
Until you can command them later. Then they KICK COMBINE BUTT!
