Five-Color Orchid Mantis
A towering mantis flashes through five elemental hues, and striking it with the wrong element turns that blow right back on the attacker.
A towering predatory insect whose petal-bright carapace shifts through five elemental hues, the orchid mantis lashes out with scything limbs and turns an attacker's own element against them.
