Desc : These giant ant lions are infamous for feeding on dumb livestock. They have a cylindrical, 6 meter long body with 6 small weak legs. Their head supports 2 #huge# daggerlike maxillae. These are used to pierce, hold, and drain prey (they are hollow).

Cmbt : Cow lions hide just under the surface, waiting for prey (but they rarely go deep enough to hide themselves). When something comes along, the 'lion jumps forward to attack (THAC +8). It then shakes the prey to subdue it (doing 3d4 + bite damage). After the prey stops struggling, the lion then drains it of blood (1 con pt/rnd). After feeding, the 'lion moves that night.

Soc: Cow lions are dragonfly-like insects (long, knobed antennae identify these). They are quite solitary. They hunt everything, but plants. Even large creatures are not safe (and if the 'lion lands its bite right, the

victim can't even bite back!).
