SPECIAL ABILITIES

Sand Trap (Ex) A giant ant lion can create a 60-foot-diameter trap in any sand or soft earth surface (see below). Creating a sand trap takes 1 hour. A giant ant lion can make an attack of opportunity against any creature that falls to the bottom of its sand trap. These creatures can move across sand traps at their normal speed and are immune to these traps effects.

A frightening menace for those traveling through the desert, giant ant lions prey upon nearly anything smaller than them.
They create giant sand traps for lairs, which resemble little more than broad depressions in the sand. Anyone that steps into such a depression must act fast or quickly slide down to the bottom, where one of these ravenous insectile predators typically lies in wait.
