Ankheg Baldur's Gate

Ankheg is a Baldur's Gate enemy in BioWare's cRPG of 1998, Baldur's Gate. Ankhegs are armored worm-like monsters most notable for their ability to burrow around the area and eject lethal streams of acid. Ankegs are quite hardy due to their outer, chitinous shell. 

When encountered early in the campaign, Ankhegs can be difficult to beat in combat. It is best that our warriors gain a few levels and are wearing good armor before taking on Ankhegs.
