The Antlion Assassin is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Desert. It walks towards to the player in attempt to deal contact damage, but it also has the ability to slowly turn itself invisible, leaving only its 2 glowing red eyes which emit a motion streak while jumping similar to the Yoraiz0r's Spell. Upon taking damage, it will become fully visible and will remain visible once it has been hit.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Antlion Assassin: "These desert scavengers are lone wolves. They hunt antlions not to survive- but for sport, to establish dominance among their tribe."
