Mantis

Giant mantises are mutated insects found in the Core Region and in the Mojave Wasteland.

Background


Giant mantises found in the Mojave Wasteland are mutated mantes created by the horticultural experiments at Vault 22. They have escaped from the vault and have spread into the wastes. It is unknown whether the giant mantises found in the Core Region originated there as well, or whether they come from another source.

Appearances
Giant mantises, the giant version of the pre-war praying mantis, appear in three games. Mantises in Fallout: New Vegas has several sub-types, few of which are unique to Zion Canyon (Honest Hearts).
