They can tame fast with rhino horns. Up so Dododex can change the info please and thank you

Do not be me and knock out a 150 after searching 3 hours coming to realize it's a passive tame.

These should have something else to tame them with besides horns. Like a kibble, spoiled meat, etc. don’t you agree?

How to Tame a Mantis:

1. Absolutely obliterate some Deathworms because you’re a gigachad and don’t feel fear..or you can kill some Woolly Rhinos, that works too.

2. Prepare, get a full suit of ghillie armor and maybe some bug repellent just to be sure. Get your deathworm horns and make it to the desert or wherever you’re taming it

3. Find a nice Mantis, probably 145-150, sneak up on it and shove the horns right up it’s ass

4. Name your Mantis, they can hold a variety of tools, pickaxes, hatchets, swords and pikes, they also have a jump attack that’ll drain stamina but does quite a lot of damage

The mantis is one of my favorite creatures, so I will do a guide for it. #1. The mantis is aggressive, and will attack you. They usually are found in the Desert, in packs of three. They have 2 attacks: the first is a standard melee swipe, and the other is kinda like a pounce. #2. It is tameable, but the way is hard. First, you will need Bug Repellent, then you will need Rhino horns ( kill woolly rhinos). The Ghillie is optional, but you definitely need bug repellent: just stay behind the Mantis. If you find a pack, kill the ones you don’t want, and tame. #3. It has a saddle, and you can give it weapons and tools. All known items I know it can give it are Picks, Hatchets, Sickles, Swords, and I think Pikes. The tools behave the same way when you use them. This is my guide to the Mantis, and I hope it is useful! Signed, Pickle844Luvr

Mantis baby eats SPOILED MEAT. Happy breeding :).

Theziosaur: I'm the ultimate harvester!!!

Mantis: Hold my beer bruh.

Please don’t listen to the boy who said with bug repellant, ghille and cactus broth that the aggro range is “literally zero” cause it’s not.. you can get super duper close without aggravating it but you can’t get too close so still be careful and try not to stand so close you can touch it or it will STILL AGGRO.

Simply get bug repellent, ghillie, 3 metal bill boards and [insert taming food here]. Pop the big repellent and wear the ghillie go up to it and trap with bill boards. The you only need to crouch by its bum and shove horns up it when it asks you to.

Kill every vulture in area if can. They will aggro on mantis and make tameing bar restart.
