It should be noted that when they imbibe the extract, they glow purple and look very similar to how they did in the beginning of Episode One. This seems to augment their natural powers. The extract of these larvae is highly prized by the Vortigaunts for its ability to "divide the false veils of the vortessence" when imbibed. Their young begin life as larvae in blue honeycombs similar to those of bees. It is not clear how Antlions breed one resistance member is heard referring to a "spawning season" at the beginning of the Highway 17 chapter, but whether Antlions mate separately, have a queen/drone system or practice something completely alien to Earth sensibilities is not known. They come in several types, some of which are separate castes.Īntlion Soldiers are the most visible element of Antlion society, most of which is kept hidden in fiercely defended underground nests. They are blind and use pheromones and vibrations to identify other living beings. The Antlions are large, voracious alien insects of several differing castes, with a hierarchy very similar to that of ants.Īntlions are social creatures living in large underground colonies.
