Mantis baby eats SPOILED MEAT. Happy breeding :).

Up for breeding tips section pls

Give it clubs and set it to “only target awake peeps” and tell it to attack something you wanna tame (don’t mount) wait a bit then you have a tamed giga
Good luck with the giga!

Oh great! It's a non violent tame! This is gonna be..AHHHHH!!!!!

The alternate attack does harvest way more than the regular attack. Doing it on element veins you will gather much more element and shards than dust. Vice versa with regular attack.

You should be able to breed them but the female eats the male

If you equip an ascendant club (or any club really) you can use the mantis as an effective taming mount I knock out rexes and carnos with it

The mantis can be used to tame other creatures by equipping clubs. The higher the melee of the mantis and the club, the faster you can knock things out

The most versatile of Scorched Earths creatures. A Mantis can hold the roles of multiple different creatures depending on the tools or weapons it has equipped. Picks and Hatchets make them ultimate harvesters, Pikes and Swords can turn them into deadly combat mounts and Clubs can allow them to quickly down creatures for taming, they have no need for Sickles since they can harvest fiber by default. However you'll need to level it's stats depending on the role you plan to assign it to. For example, if you want too make a Mantis a harvester weight and Melee are what you'll want to go for, if you want it to be a expert at combat health and Melee with some stamina in case things go wrong and you have to flee are the way to go since there pounce attack is enough to quickly cover ground and escape a aggressor, and KO'ers really need nothing more then health in case the target is something strong that fights back and some Melee to increase the amount of torpor inflicted by the clubs
