Due to their relatively large and muscular legs, Orthopterrans are able to jump extremely large distances. Their legs can also kick with considerable force, making them offensive weapons in close-quarters.
The resulting shock waves created by an Orthopterran's jumping are strong enough to push away beings or debris directly piled on top of them, as demonstrated by Crashhopper when he fought Mutant Ants.It Was Them They are also powerful enough to crack concrete.Breakpoint
An Orthopterran's head is hard as steel and is full of shock-absorbing viscous matter that cushions the impact on the Orthopterran's internal organs.
