The Antlion is a massive brown antlion and a boss in Final Fantasy IV. It is encountered at the lowest floor of Antlion Cave, named Antlion Nest, where it guards the Sand Ruby.
History
Final Fantasy IV
In Final Fantasy IV, when the party (Cecil, Rydia and Edward) enter the Antlion Nest, they go to the center, and according to Edward, it is where the Antlion lays its eggs. The Antlion's pincers can be seen from the top screen Rydia gets scared of the Antlion, but Edward tries to assure her that the Antlion is not aggressive. He tries to demonstrate by taking the Sand Ruby, but is immediately attacked by the Antlion, thus starting the battle.
During the battle, whenever any party member attacks the Antlion (except when Rydia summons a Chocobo), it uses the Counter Horn attack on them. Because the Antlion deals a lot of damage, Edward often has to use his Heal ability to restore HP of party members.
After defeating the Antlion, Cecil, Rydia and Edward obtain the Sand Ruby. Edward wonders why the Antlion was so aggressive, as he remembers the species to be mostly peaceful. Cecil tells him that monsters have recently been multiplying rapidly and have been showing a difference in behavior. The party leaves the Antlion Cave to travel back to Rosa with the Sand Ruby.
