Antlion King

The Antlion King is an enemy cut from Half-Life 2.

Depiction
''The Antlions were to have a patriarchal society, much like ants have a queen, but this was to be a creature even larger than the Strider. For a rough idea of scale, in the maquette, Gordon is stuck between the toes of the beast, which towered some 60 feet. During development, the topside Antlions started working, and more and more of the underground spaces were cut, until eventually there was no place left for the King.''

Trivia

 * The idea of the Antlion King ruling the nests and Antlion workers in caves was reused for Episode Two, the King being re-included as the Antlion Guardian.
