How can the mantises claws hold item but the mr Bigfoot can’t

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)

this thing can hold tools.

I swear somebodys gona make it hold a gun.

Imagine in pvp it having acendant swords or clubs and coming for u

We use beer and try tame them.

It’s real fun

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

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

Mantis: *clears throat*

Argy: @_@

I died

Ark: we need more bug creatures

Coyote Peterson should get stung by one of these

Great for content!

My worst nightmare is working on a PvP server for 14 hours straight to find one idiot coming along with a 150 Mantis named Bobby with Ascendant swords.

It says “taming: non-violent”

It’s the murderer of the new TLC mammoth

Give this guy swords and sing...

Everybody it’s Kung foo fighting! Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun du

Ark devs:

Dev 1:”we need a new idea the fans want a new dino”

Dev 2:”what about a flaming lion?”

Dev 1:”nahhh”

Dev 3:”ANOTHER GIANT BUG!”

Dev 1 and 2:”PERFECT”

I heard mantis give good amounts of polymer so I flew around on my wyvern for ages not finding any then I learnt that they spawn in the dunes😂

Mine was named Ted, Ted was a nice guy I liked Ted, some jerk came and killed him and raided my base I was shattered, so I got the admins to come and help me since they liked Ted as well, they gave me creative I went to the other guys base and summoned like 15 gigas on his base and I got a death threat from him and I said “that’s what you get for killing Ted”

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

They say if you see a mantis it is best to run because this thing can run.

It dies fast is you have something that shots flame /flamethrower/oil jar/flame arrows

Imagine a thousand of these jumping out and kill you

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