Deadly Mantis
A gigantic mantis ambushes from ancient ferns, striking with scythe-bladed forelimbs before prey can react, then flinging victims skyward.
These gigantic mantids make their homes within prehistoric forests, where they wait in ambush among the ferns and strike with scythe-bladed forelimbs before their prey ever sees them move.
In play
Fling [Single Action] The deadly mantis flings a grabbed creature into the air, up to 30 feet overhead and up to 30 feet away from the mantis (the creature takes damage from the fall as normal). If the flung creature lands on another creature, the creature it lands on takes the same amount of bludgeoning damage with a DC 31 basic Reflex save.
