herbivores: give me some Berry's
carnivorous: give me some raw meat
Mantis: Yeah, I would like a extra large deathworm horn, preferably consumed while being conscious.

It says “taming: non-violent”

It’s the murderer of the new TLC mammoth

Replying to the guy that wrote:
Therezinosaurus: I'm the ultimate harvester!!!
Mantis:Hold my beer, bruh.

How to find a mantis.
1. Start looking something to tame
2. Knock out the thing you are taming.
3. Just vibe there.
4. You have been killed by Mantis.

Giant praying mantis.
I mean, it's a good description. It preys on things, and its big, and its a mantis.
Just pray it isn't a high level if you see one and you aren't ready...
The leap is as big as the U.S. President's net worth...

I can tell you from experience that in fleeing this bug you only need 1 tranq. Yep i shot that thing into my tribemates knee and was able to escape at a brisk pace as the mantis ate him

Ark: we need more bug creatures

WHY ISN’T THERE AN OPTION FOR SAD?! I was gifted a baby joker mantis. It hit adolescence and I came home to find it on the roof?!? After a proper scolding she was placed to follow a babysitter (forest griffin was not pleased with his new roll as insect daddy) but yet I came home once again before she reached adulthood to find her gone 😭

forest griffin is still in questioning as a suspect.

How is this a passive it bashed my head in

Adolescent mantis at 99% maturation is much larger than fully grown one, like 50% larget... The child is spoiled with meat 😊

Ark: ok, whe're going to make a giant insectoid death-centaur that is 15 feet tall and can hold two swords at once, oh, and it can only be tamed with an item that can only be acquired by killing something with a quarter as much health as a giga
Players: oh, no, why?!
Ark: and it can also leap and make a small explosion where it lands.
Players: quick, run away!
Mantises *chop chop chop chop*
Players *respawn respawn respawn respawn*
Mantises *chop chop chop chop*
Players *respawn respawn respawn respawn*
Etc ect ect ect

Mantis:Wat u doin here go away
Me:Wat the h*ll are u
Mantis:b*tch Wat u say
Me:oh sh*t i better run right
Mantis:yes I give u a head start but u not get far
I jump off a cliff. me:see ya sucker I go out my way b*tch

If you want to find a Dino that is cool but a pain to tame, the mantis is for you

Argy: I can pick up just about anything... raptor no problem. Parasaur come on easy. Anky shit... hold my beer.

Mantis: *clears throat*

Does this remind anyone of the mantis from Kung foo panda?

Here's a sad story bout my mantis ray

He was THE BEST choice for EVERYTHING, meat runs, taming, all around good boy, one day I went to the red obelisk and I was depositing items for tribute and suddenly some jerks poison wyvern and 5 carnos killed my thyla's and the wyvern killed me off rays back and about 2 minutes later I got a message saying "Your ray LVL 73 (mantis) was killed by Medusa (wyvern)" worst day on Scorched EVER... :( (this was like 3 days ago)

Non violent my ass this thing has killed me several times while im trying to feed it

Give it a whip to hold it has a great visual bug (accidental pun also thus may be fixed)

If you're low level in Scorched Earth pray you don't run into one... get it PRAY! Eh, it's a stupid joke.

Don’t you love it when your on the beach and you think look it is a big mantis let’s hug it and it leaps at your face
