New Creature - Giant Praying Mantis

[Eyesgood 2,121]

Just noticed we are getting overrun with praying mantises as the fall season starts.  

 

What a great creature they would make in Wurm!

+1 for any new creatures in Wurm! Though if it's going to be a praying mantis, maybe create a phobia mode version, they're pretty scary looking...

-1 all the way

[Pingpong 1,070]

+1 for a couple of weeks every spring

Phobia mode plz, I'm still spooked by the wormy the butterfly from spongebob...

 

Still gives me the jitters (pic of it below)

These are my favorite helpful garden insect.  I love them and yet fear them in their pose and manner of walking about they are haunting and tingly spooky some.  I just have a huge golden one reside in my flower garden in rl.  This winter i'll buy an ootheca/the egg case from which i'll spawn hundreds in the spring..looking forward to it.  This could be fun addition yet if we are to add another creature i'd really vote for mammoth. many uses on pve and ivory crafting..and good for pvp for war beasts.

In some countries they are sacred.

 

Scientists have said that millions of years ago if we evolved as insects and not mammals that their best diagram of what we would look like resembles a Praying Mantis.

Yes, where i grew up, it was illegal to kill them.  I'v always had a reverence for them..they are also amazing warriors in vegetable and flower gardens.
