One of the best games in the game. It has good base stats, and has the special ability to use player tools (axe, pickaxe, sword, club, etc)so it makes amazing harvester, or combat tanks, or knock outers. You will however need to be smart in how you spec points depending on what you want for you mantis. If you want a harvester spec stamina and weight, for combat health and melee, knock outer health melee and stamina. Happy taming.

These guys are amazing if you have good weapons since you can use them to stap the heck out of creatures, use to knockout stuff:with a club, or to gather matreals. WARNING: these guys have bad weight so don't recommend to take these guys for metal unless you have brought anything with good wight

They added mantis babies in the newest update, I can’t wait to see what kinds of Mantis mutations there can be!

You can combine these with a regular tek parasaur breeding farm to make the ultimate resource farm

More of a question. Why can't it fly???

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

These guys are very good at harvesting metal if you have one with decent weight as you can hold the mining drill while riding one (somehow) but yoy can mine metal with their pickaxes and transfer the metal onto your character

Farm chitin by killing these guys. Simply kill the mantis then use a sword on its corpse. You will be amazed.

Can get more hide then a few 5 stars like the direwolf and sabertooth with a metal hatchet in its hand even tho the wiki says it's only a 4 star.

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

On gen 2 if you put swords in its hands it Collect sap. From the yellow trees.

Me and my tribemate reinacted Star Wars

We got two mantis by a lava lake and gave them decent swords as the rest of the tribe watched

I went onto the high ground and he went to the low ground with the lava in between us

“It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground!”

“You underestimate my power.”

“Don’t try it.”

he leaped to wards me and I sliced but missed cause he got deflected off the rock and then fell into the lava

“You were my brother Anakin,”

“I loved you,”

Then we had to get him a fjordhawk to grab his stuff but eh it was pretty entertaining especially as he cried in agony at the loss of his stuff when I said the last lines

Man Kenobi is leng

In Crystal Isles they are awesome with a HATCHET at mining element shards! I was shocked when I saw how much ele i was missing by using a pick Axe with the mantis.

For those who don’t know, these guys can hold tools (hatchet, pick, sword) in their hands. Very useful for harvesting.

Mantises are really useful. They are hard to tame, but once you did, you will not regret it. They are great at harvesting fiber, and kill creatures quickly. They are also great at harvesting meat and hide.

Can hold axes and pickaxes all the way to swords and pikes, and you can equip different ones for what you want them to do at the moment, such as pickaxes for flint, axes for metal, swords/pikes for damage output, and they gather fiber by default!

When you tame a Mantis will feed off of meat

It’s a good harvester for wood thatch and other materials
