The Antlion is a boss from Final Fantasy IX. The party fights it in Cleyra after it attempts to eat Prince Puck. If its Trouble Mucus causes a character to become Troubled, an Annoyntment can be stolen to cure them. When attacked physically, it responds with its Counter Horn. The Antlion's Sandstorm ability reduces all allies' HP to single digits and inflicts blind status ailment. This is especially dangerous when Trouble is inflicted on a unit, so keep those Annoyntments ready.

Stronger Antlions also appear as regular enemies if the player chooses the wrong sand pit when attempting to enter the Desert Palace on the Outer Continent. These Antlions have the same attacks as the first Antlion.
