Mantis baby eats SPOILED MEAT. Happy breeding :).

Theziosaur: I'm the ultimate harvester!!!

Mantis: Hold my beer bruh.

If you get an tek engram can you use tek swords on these things like the post for yes

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

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

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

Advice:

-Aquire mantis

-Level melee as much as possible

-Equip with ascendant wooden clubs

-Ultimate wyvern knockout machine

Best tame on the game! Had so much fun with mine, knocking out of dino's with club, mining, killing.... Can so so much! Even knocked out my 150 shark with it.

Just don't leave it on passive RIP 260 mantis :(

Why is there not an option to add a mantis with a club in the weapons option for Dododex??

Up for breeding tips section pls

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

Babies now eat raw meat. Enjoy

Don't listen to the guy that said unarmed attacks from the mantis is better. A sword can easily increase it's attack to the 3-4 digits

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!

(To person below me) The reason it doesn't harvest anything is because you need to give it the correlating tool for the job, for example, to harvest minerals, give it a pickaxe, for wood an axe, you can give it a sword too but it's unarmed attack is better.

I don't even use tranqs on my singleplayer world, I just use these bad boys and clubs😁

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.

Use a mantis with a wooden club and you can knock out things or scissors they somehow work I knocked out a level 56 pacer with a mantis with a club

He atualy better than anyhavester than any one because you can up grade tools to asendent and harvest more and faster

definitely worth getting its like a super human, pump all its points into damage and maybe some into health and weight. this guy gets a lot of any resource and can do tons of damage with an ascendant sword
