"Hungry~?"

## Survival Dossier

*"A cunning yet cruel bounty hunter known in her history to travel across different worlds and hunt the most dangerous and reknown predators, Mantifera hunts alone in order to find the greatest trophy on the IBM (Intergalactic Black Market),* *Roon. Mantifera is a aggressive* *entity that has an incredible amount of strength* *compacted into her rather short body. Her method of attack is to pin down her subjects to threaten them of her presence and speak of various ways she would torture them, peeling their skin with her curling claws and exclaiming her desire to consume* *their flesh alive.* *She enjoys the look of humans and others in* *fear. She* *also specializes in using a* *flowering, pocket-like tail to threaten her prey and tear off their limbs, using it* *additionally* *as* *a slimy second mouth with vibrating walls of flesh inside and a thick,* *spiked hide on the outside. She is a powerful flier with massive bat-like wings and stronger arms, capable of destroying large structures and lifting massive* *objects like heavy weapons.* *Despite* *such strength, her weakness lies in her tail.* *Although it is* *almost* *physically impossible to damage her primary body extensively, touching the inside of this flowering mouth will render her immobile and paralyzed with* *a* *raw,* *sensual fear."*

## Appearance

The Mantiferas appearance is very intimidating to some. Although her main body is very feminine in nature, she possesses massive feline-like forearms and ears, legs equipped with sickle sharp claws, small red marks of wounds around her body in various places. Her main point of interest is a massive scorpion-esque tail, every square inch of this appendage armored with a chitinous exterior. While her tail has hardy end with the head like that of a blooming flower, just inside lies a thick layer of soft, sensitive flesh. An incredibly dangerous toxin sac also lies inside here that she can release from her tail in thick clouds.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

***Tail Acid/Tail Sensitivity***: The chemicals her tail can emit are actually a special deathly concoction of multiple modern poisons that can each activate different effects however she desires, including aphrodisiacs, neurotoxins, and acidic compounds deadly enough to melt past steel. The only known way to avoid dying a grisly death is to hold her tail closed, or forcefully jut something inside of her tail. this makes her extremely uncomfortable as if someone is touching her in an erotic manner, and therefore acts as a weak spot. Attempting to slice her tail will only result in the regeneration of a new tail loaded with more deadly toxin, so avoid breaking it off at all costs. The tip of her tail isn’t necessarily like a stinger, more like a secondary mouthpart. It’s head opens much like a Demogorgon.

***Instinct***: It is her instinct to slaughter anything she deems a horrible, truthfully aggressive and disgusting person, due to serving countless wars and serving under lots of ruthless and freakishly disturbing commanders. She has grown to eternally hate them with a burning rage. This instinct to hunt abusive commanders can be used to trap her using decoys in containment units for interrogation.
