The Mantis Ant is a recurring creature in the Mana series of games. It is typically depicted as a giant insect with a hard exoskeleton and two sickle-shaped forelimbs that appears to stand up on its remaining pairs of legs. Its coloration varies according to each of its appearances, but is usually bright green with brown and/or yellow segments on the limbs. It may or may not also have a stone-gray abdomen.
