The '''''Emp'seam''-pattern Sky Striker''', more commonly known as the '''Antlion'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=305}} or '''mega turret''' is a giant ground stationary weapon built by the [[Covenant]]. It is essentially a long-range, heavy [[plasma mortar]].

The Antlion is a massive Covenant [[plasma]] turret that was in service during and after the [[Human-Covenant War]]. During the height of the empire, the turret was used by the Covenant to protect Covenant military and religious installations, but these massive cannons have also been encountered at remote colonies and outposts guarding nothing of obvious value and reflexively attacking all who approach without long-forgotten authorization codes.<ref name="PLWI">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', Phoenix Logs, Banished Buildings ''Antlion''</ref><ref name="BACK">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/back-mentality '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Back Mentality'']</ref> It is capable of dishing out considerable damage against hostile forces. It fires three bolts of superheated plasma in quick succession, doing considerably high damage to nearby enemy units.
