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

What ARK players use the Mantis for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Breeded tip , you can use spoiled meat
Put 2 clubs on this bad boy and then be a pvp god
The versatility and movement ability of the mantis is amazing for harvesting asteroids. The jump move and general movement speed help to move you around extremely fast in space, making this tame very valuable on genesis 2. Equip a good pick and harvest away!
Give it tek swords it will destroy everything
To the person who said that the female should eat the male. I somewhat disagree just because there’s a chance the baby will be poop while the dad was a rather good tame, rather the female would just attack the male until on low HP (such as 100 health?) so then some people…

Mantis eggs may bug out . I was ecited to get my first to raise and my mantis pop the egg but there was no egg¡¡¡¡ wdf
Since TLC 3 , this creature is breedable. You cannot pick up it's fertilized eggs , so make sure you have a proper breeding area.
I don't even use tranqs on my singleplayer world, I just use these bad boys and clubs😁
(Name it Johnny Cade) If it has swords jump jump around and bully things
The swiss army knife of Ark. Can hold tools/weapons for you.
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
Number one best for gathering salt,mutagel and crystal
Recommend getting this tame! Very good at harvesting crystal and other resources. An easy to get deathworm horns it by going to the Ice dungeon on ragnnarok.
If you want it to harvest stuff you need to give it the tool that is used for the material.
Do you know that you could put mail in weapons on these guys hands like axes swords, and pick axes
I like the creature I just can’t harvest metal or mutagen with it. If anyone can tell me please do I want to take a stryder.
This insect can carry tools and use them to get cooler resources
Mantis are excellent for extinction, get a couple Gigas or Manas and farm element nodes once the nodes are finished get a mantis will all point in melee and the best metal pickaxe you can find and you have yourself an easy 300+ element
