Antlion

Antlions are found only in the area around Palamecia. They don't go down easily to normal attacks, but their weaknesses to Ice and Poison make them easier to kill than a lot of the other area monsters. Their attacks are on par with others you've seen, but they inflict Paralysis, which can be quite annoying. Still, since you can snipe them with spells, a mage safe in the back row can win these battles easily.
