Mantis Foreleg

 is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas. This item is found on dead (giant) Mantis. It can be used to make a specific food item: Grilled mantis leg at a campfire.

Characteristics

 * When picked up by the player from the Mantis corpse, the Mantis' body model forelegs explode.

Bugs

 * As of the latest patch, moving Mantis Forelegs between the player and a corpse or a companion can sometimes give the player 20xp each time they are moved. If such instance occurs, you can simply open the corpse and replace the Forelegs for between 20xp-60xp each time you place the Forelegs on the body, and remove them. This is a very quick way to exploit level, causing a Level Up every minute or so if done correctly. PC confirmed (it's because of attached script).


 * It is possible to exchange the forelegs with your companion back and forth, giving you as much experience points as you want. This can only be done by emptying both your own and your companions inventory.
