===Etymology===
Antlar's name originates from the combination of the words "Ant Lion", which is the name of a species of ant-eating fly.
==History==
===Ultraman===
During a meteor investigation mission deep in a desert region, the SSSP was ambushed by the monster Antlar, whom had dug an antlion-like hole in the middle of the desert. They tried attacking the massive insectoid monster with their lasers, but Antlar's rough hide was impenetrable by far and proceeded to fire his magnetism ray from his mandibles, sucking in The Science Patrol's weapons. Luckily, the Science Patrol managed to escape while Antlar burrowed away.
While on their mission, the Science Patrol then found an ancient civilization that was being attacked by the monster too, to which they learned was called "Antlar". They also learned that the civilization hailed an Ultraman-like figure called the "God of Noa" as a prophet, naming their city after a blue stone called Baradhi.
Suddenly Antlar returned, attacking the City of Baradhi. Hayata transformed into Ultraman to face Antlar, but the giant was tricked countlessly by Antlar's burrowing and his magnetic ray to reel Ultraman in. Ultraman managed to tear off on Antlar’s two pincers and fired a Spacium Beam, but Antlar's exoskeleton was too tough and the two continued to fight. Realizing Ultraman was running out of time, the Princess grabbed the Stone of Baradhi and asked the Science Patrol to throw it at Antlar in hope of destroying it. As soon as they did, a shower of sparks erupted from all over Antlar's body, ending its life and destruction.

===Ultraman Max===
In this series, Antlar was a monster that destroyed the city of Baradhi long ago. In a prophecy from the "God of Noa", it was stated that Antlar would return in the future to punish those that polluted the environment. Four thousand years later, Antlar returned in Tokyo, attacking the city with his magnetic beam with little to nothing that DASH could to stop it as Antlar left to rest.
Once DASH found out that the Blue Stone of Baradhi was the only thing that could weaken Antlar, the monster returned to attack once again. While DASH's weapons were powerless, Kaito turned into Ultraman Max to fight Antlar himself. It seemed the two were evenly matched until Antlar used his magnetic ray to his advantage on Max, attacking him with a transformer and even blocking his Maxium Cannon. Finally once DASH found a Stone of Baradhi, they fired it at Antlar, greatly weakening the monster enough for Ultraman Max to cut off one of its pincer mandibles with his Maxium Sword before finishing it off with the Maxium Cannon. 
====Trivia====
*An old parchment excavated from the Baradhi ruins shows the God of Noa, a giant figure, handing over the Blue Stone to humans. This giant could have been Ultraman Max himself, since he had once defended humans from Gilfas as well in the ancient past.

Once the ZAP SPACY was reunited, Antlar tried to attack its main ship the Spacy Pendragon. Gomora however transformed into Reionic Burst mode and viciously attacked Antlar, tearing off its pincers. Greatly weakened by his monster's state, Alien Babarue called back his Antlar to safety and retreated. 
====Trivia====
*The Antlar suit from Ultraman Max was reused for Antlar's battle in this series.

Garm then remembered the last time he hunted down and Antlar but, at that time, he had a partner: Nodachi Zamsher. He used his katana, which glowed at the moment, and sliced Antlar in half.
