Mantis

Mantises are large insects that are found in different areas of Cantha. They have experienced a population explosion in Kaineng City and on Shing Jea island that seems connected to the outbreak of the affliction. They loosely resemble a real-life Praying Mantis (combined with elements of ants, lobsters, ...) but with varying proportions to their limbs, heads and torsos.


 * Note: Low level Mantises (up to level 20) are labeled "Mantid", high level Mantises are labeled "Mantis". This is the same species.

Characteristics
Mantises will usually be found in groups of 2 to 4 wandering the area, but can also spring a trap by suddenly landing from trees or rocks above to surprise the unaware. Mantises in the Echovald Forest are hostile to Plants, Kirin, and Wardens.
