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

Advice:
-Aquire mantis
-Level melee as much as possible
-Equip with ascendant wooden clubs
-Ultimate wyvern knockout machine

BEST GATHERING CREATURE EVER! can use tools (pickaxe, sichle, hatchet, sword, club, pike) to harvest everything u want! u need them to gather in "industrial"-amounts...!!!

If you are taming these for their Eggs, make sure to place them in an area that's "Unknown" (changed to "Wilderness" in recent patch). It'll quadruple your Egg harvest. Just leave render range for 5-10 minuted, come back and collect your eggs. They can also be egg-boosted by a Oviraptor now so make sure one is in range.

As much as I hate to admit seeing as how ankys are my favorite tame, this thing equipped with acended pick gets crystal better than the anky. at least anky still number one in metal.

Plus one to have Dododex to include this things eggs are used in comfort food for jerboas

They lay the most eggs in an unknown region. One is in the dessert near the blue obby.

if you are trying to get eggs, they need to be left on areas of the map marked as “wilderness”. on the island its herb island. on ragnarok its the area by the hidden scar where the sand and grass meet.

This thing is like the Chuck Norris of gathering. It can literally gather anything really good

The most valuable pet for mining on element veins in extinction.

This creature is in the top 5 dinos for harvesting in 16 different categories and ranks high in several others

Great way to get organic polymer and when tamed do very good damage and can use tools to collect lots of resources are fight enemies.

Best dino to use to collect charcoal from burnt trees use a pickaxe on the dead trees by the wyvern spawn on ragnorak collect about 100 or so per tree there tons of gun powder

Fun to play around with but is deadly killed 50 wyverns at lvl 1 XD

If you tame a lot of low level female mantis they lay eggs you can use to make mantis kibble, which lets you tame a rock elemental super fast and efficient!~L

When you tame a Mantis will feed off of meat

Combine with good clubs for near instant tame

Great for harvesting and very moble

Upvot if you think there underestimated in pvp
