Antlion (Final Fantasy IV)

The Antlion is a minor boss from Final Fantasy IV, found deep inside Antlion's Den where it produces the Sand Pearl while laying its eggs, the only means to cure those infected by desert fever. Normally, the Antlion is benign but because of the influence that is making monsters become more aggressive, the Antlion attacks the party.

;Target Score
* Exploit weakness to Ice attacks
;Abilities
* Attack: Deal physical damage to one target.
* Pincers: Deal special physical damage to one target.
;Strategy
Antlion counters all physical attacks. The player should use Ice attacks. The game itself does not limit copying of abilities, so having a Black Mage with two sets of Blizzard spells should all but guarantee a fast finish. Later, icy spellblades will allow fighters to crush the insectoid underfoot.
