CharacteristicsEdit
Antgobblers are large, anteater-like monsters covered in spiky, dark grey-green fur with a pale green snout and red eyes. They have a long purple prehensile tongue, which they use to attack adventurers, as well as their sharp blue claws. After their long absence from the series, antgobblers made appearances in two spinoff games.
