Loot

Every ant lion carries:

• Gold: about 120–300 in total (from its "Average" ×2 loot)
• 3 bones
• 1–5 fertile dirt
• 1–10 ore of one random kind: dull copper (25%), shadow iron (25%), copper (25%) or bronze (25%)

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 6 chances, from about 5% down to 0.5% each)
• A musical instrument (about 0.8% or less)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Tips

• Kill it for a free handful of colored ore and fertile dirt without mining or farming.
• Its 90 Wrestling and 45 armor make it a tough melee target for its size; magic is easier.
• Its loot is two "Average" packs, about 120–300 gold in total.
