Giant mantises are mutated [[Wikipedia:mantis|praying mantises]] created by the horticultural experiments that took place in [[Vault 22]]. They have escaped from the vault and have spread into the [[Mojave Wasteland]]. Compared to other mutant creatures, they are genetically more similar to the original specimen, albeit much larger. Mantises are significantly smaller than humans, but have an incredibly powerful attack. They almost always attack in swarms. [[Mantis egg]]s and [[mantis foreleg]]s may be taken from their dead bodies.

Young giant mantis. They are much smaller and weaker than adult mantis. With a high enough Strength, they can be killed simply by walking over them which can be problematic for players attempting a pacifist run. They are usually found early in the game at the [[Goodsprings schoolhouse]] and the [[Nevada Highway Patrol station]] but they can also be found in [[Vault 11]], Vault 22 and other areas.

Giant mantises are mutated insects found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Characteristics

Biology

Giant mantises are mutated praying mantises created by the horticultural experiments that took place in Vault 22. They have since escaped from the vault and have spread into the Mojave Wasteland. Compared to other mutant creatures, their biological traits have remained relatively unchanged when compared with the original specimen, except for significantly increased size. They are still much smaller than humans, but make up for that by attacking in swarms whenever possible. Mantis eggs and mantis forelegs may be taken from their dead bodies.

Gameplay attributes

Because of the height difference, giant mantises' attacks mainly consist of jumping and slicing its target in mid-air with their forelegs. If a mantis' antennae become crippled, it will become frenzied and the mantis will begin to attack anything within reach. There are quite a few mantises on the way to Jacobstown and around Spring Mt. Ranch State Park.

Variants

Notes

  • Taking two or more mantis forelegs off of one will cause the model's forelegs to explode. This does not occur for mantis nymphs or giant Zion mantises.
  • Shooting a mantis ootheca will release a dozen giant mantis nymphs, which will then attack.
  • When observed for a time, a mantis can be seen cleaning its mouth. On occasion, it will flutter its wings the same way it would when attacking.

Appearances

Giant mantises appear in Fallout: New Vegas and its add-ons Honest Hearts and Old World Blues.

Bugs

PCPC The mantis XP glitch still remains with Zion mantises. A transfer of legs could lead to 200 XP gained at a time, dependent on level. [verified]
