Name: Nemean Antlion

Height: 29 ft. (larval) 97 ft. (imaginal)
Length: 70 ft. (larval) 233 ft. (imaginal)
Wingspan: N/A (larval) 408 ft. (imaginal)

Weight: 120 tons (larval) not measured (imaginal)

Base DNA: Antlion, Mountain dragon, Periodical cicada, Bobbit worm, Bearded fireworm, African elephant

Abilities: Fire breath

Weaknesses: Practically immobile, unintelligent

Defenses: Its pit, bristles, fire breath

Special Attributes: Its size, life cycle, the pits it digs, venom in both its mandibles and bristles

Description: In its larval stage it is a giant antlion, with the mandibles of a bobbit worm and covered in sharp, dusty red bristles. Internally, it also has a dragon's flight bladder, allowing it to breath a spurt of flame. Upon metamorphosing into its imaginal form, it is a mature antlion of unbelievable size, whose flight bladder has changed to encompass most of its internal area and which is used solely to lighten it.

LOGI Info: Hatching from a hard-shelled egg buried a few feet below the desert sands, Nemean Antlions begin life around the size of an actual lion. They will then dig their first pit, using their rear as a shovel and walking backwards in a spiral to form a deep cone in the sand, a couple dozen feet across, which they then bury themselves at the bottom of. They can wait there without eating for a remarkably long time, even immediately after hatching. When suitably sized prey does find itself in the trap, they will be assaulted from below with sprays of sand and plumes of fire, until they get close enough for the antlion to grab them with its mandibles, injecting them with a painful, burning toxin that quickly dulls into numbness; permanently, killing the nerve cells in the surrounding area. This same toxin is found in the bristles that cover the antlion's body. As prey falls into its trap and is consumed, the entirety of the meal remains in the antlion, all being converted into size. Once it has reached a monumental seventy feet at the end of its larval stage, it will dig around ten meters underground and pupate. Months later, the fully grown imago will erupt from the sands, an unbelievably large insect which then proceeds to make an unbelievably large sound. This singing is in infrasound, and despite being so loud as to be audible across half a continent, is blessedly silent to human ears, though when nearby people will often be able to feel the vibrations with their entire bodies. These sounds lead the mature antlions, colloquially called Herculean Mayflies, towards one another to mate, their sole purpose in life. They will not eat or drink anything as they hunt each other down, and even the act, the male will die. The female will find the nearest desert, and spread her eggs out within it, burying them beneath the sand before herself dying.

Other:

Obviously the imago is too large to even be an EEC Plant, let alone a predatory monster. But, it does exist solely as flavor text for the larva, so I am guessing it shouldn't be an issue.

The weight of large bugs is always a bit problematic to calculate. But my weight sense is tingling and telling me that this thing (The Larvea) would probably weigh in at around 120-150 tons.

So the larval form is the only form that will be used in combat yes? Probably not an issue, but that should maybe be more explicitly stated under Other.

Other than that all it needs is a picture.

Quite an interesting addition to Genome's wildlife! Unless if anyone else can, I'll do the drawing for this, but I'm afraid it won't be up very soon as even with my grimoire ain't nobody got time to make images. Nonetheless, I'll give it priority over my other drawings and have it up within a week or two, I hope.

Not sure if this is what you intended for it to look like but here's a picture. Sorry that I'm not very good at insects and that it took me so long but its finally up. Also, yes, it's still halfway in the ground, but the rear is pretty self explanatory. Also, once you tell me if this picture looks right I'll go ahead and approve it.

Well it looks like an antlion, certainly, and once you've crossed that bridge you're basically already at Tartarus. So yes, I think it is excellent.

And it really was not very long at all, you know. It's hardly been a week and you've only known about it for a couple days.

True, though seeing as how typically I can make them within 5 to 10 minutes of reading the description I'd say it's certainly not my record time. I enjoyed drawing it though, it'd been too long since I've actually drawn. Aaaanyways, approved.
