Devalants are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1] They both appear and behave similar to that of a larval Antlion.[2]
Characteristics
Devalants are giant, burrowing insects with large snapping pincers that live in desert regions. They create sinkholes in the sand as they burrow underneath, drawing in their prey.
A Link to the Past
In A Link to the Past, two varieties of Devalants can be found; A Red variety, and a blue variety.
