This article is about the creature from Olden Era. For other uses, see mantis.

The mantis is the tier 4 creature of the Hive faction. It is recruited from the Chitinous Ziggurat. The mantis can be upgraded into the vermilion mantis or royal mantis.

One of the most vicious creatures within the Hive, Mantes represent the point where lines between insectoid and demonic blur. Highly adaptable, they use basic tactics to herd their prey into inescapable passages, ensuring their capture.^OffBck
