Mantis (Ark: Survival Evolved)

==Summary==
The Mantis is one of many arthropods roaming the ARKs, native to Scorched Earth, it is highly aggressive and will attack anything its size or even larger
Just like the Arthropleura, Pulminoscorpius and Araneo, the Mantis can be tamed, once domesticated, the Mantis' ability to wield tools for harvest/battle makes it one of the most versatile mounts while also being capable of holding its own, albeit not so well against the largest carnivores
