Bestiary Entry
Genus: Rank V Mark
Classification: ??? 

Being a variety of Killer Mantis residing in the deepest crags of the Lhusu Mines. Aggressive in the Extreme, known to flay alive such giant Creatures as the Nidhogg for its food. As it has no natural Predators in the Mines, an Imbalance in the Food Chain is feared. Worried that her Children may have wandered into the Antlion's Nest, a concerned Citizen petitioned a hunt for this Mark. 

Battle 
Before entering Antlion's lair, it's best to buff all your characters. Antlion is surrounded and protected by Preying Mantises, and therefore the battle relies more on crowd control rather than depleting Antlion's HP. A simple tactic is to lure the mantises one by one, and slowly depleting their quantities before the Antlion notices you. If not, focus on using high level Magicks that inflicts all targets in range, such as Scourge and Scathe, though Antlion itself is weak to Wind-elemental attacks. Another tactic is to use Warp to quickly kill the mantises. Overall, the Preying Mantises can be annoying since they serves as an efficient meatshield while the Antlion itself is capable of dealing moderate damage. Equipping wind elemental weapons works well while battling Antlion, but when around 40% of it's HP is drained, Antlion will subsequently use "cannibalize", which Antlion feasts upon one of the mantises and increases it's overall status, as well as healing itself. Antlion is capable of using "cannibalize" more than once, so focus on destroying all the mantises first before focusing on Antlion itself. An alternate tactic is to clear the area near Antlion's lair and summon Chaos, wait until his summoning period is almost over and enter Antlion's lair. Chaos's final attack, Tornado (wind elemental) should give you a good start in defeating Antlion and the mantises.
