One of the best games in the game. It has good base stats, and has the special ability to use player tools (axe, pickaxe, sword, club, etc)so it makes amazing harvester, or combat tanks, or knock outers. You will however need to be smart in how you spec points depending on what you want for you mantis. If you want a harvester spec stamina and weight, for combat health and melee, knock outer health melee and stamina. Happy taming.
