A Rock Elemental would be a great bodyguard in case there are too many to fight.īEWARE of Pounce at Mid Range: with Mantis often spawning in groups of 2-3, taking three hits of this powerful attack can deal tremendous damage. One might consider using a Bow or a Boomerang to keep the mantises at bay and possibly knock it out for running away, or even building a trap around it to tame later. If you don't think you can stand a close-up fight, range attacks with fire arrows or other powerful projectiles should do the trick easily. Due to the fact they spawn in packs they may often be mate-boosted, increasing the power of their fast and deadly attacks. They will attempt to rapidly close the distance with an initial pounce before delivering an onslaught of rapid slashing attacks.Īvoid close combat unless you have a strong enough mount, or good gear.

Once one Mantis spots prey, the others usually follow.

Due to their pounce attack they have a fairly large aggression range. Mantis spawn in packs of around 2-3 individuals within caves and desert dunes. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed. Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps This makes it deadly as a mount or footsoldier and highly efficient as a gatherer. Its unique claws allow it to wield melee weapons like spears or pikes in battle, and use tools while harvesting resources. Though a dangerous task, successfully taming Empusa can prove highly beneficial. Its size, intelligence and ability to pounce on its prey from a great distance mean that one could be quickly swarmed and killed upon detection. I would love to study these interactions in depth, but observing Empusa up close is extremely dangerous. I have even found clear patterns in the sounds Empusa makes when communicating with its own kind, as though it is actually using some kind of dialect. Not only is Empusa the only recorded insect to have developed an opposable digit, allowing it to grip objects and use tools, but it possesses a level of intelligence that is unrivalled among non-human species. The existence of a creature such as Empusa discipulus is both fascinating and frightening.
