Description
A Giant Praying Mantis is a well-camouflaged creature, moves very slowly, and waits motionless for hours. It feeds on anything smaller than itself. It possesses a chameleon-like ability to change its exoskeleton color to blend in with its surroundings. Typically, a hunting praying mantis will surprise on 1-5 of 1d6; locating one that is hiding (from a distance) requires a roll of 1 on 1d6. It can fly for brief periods, covering 120 feet in a hop, but will only do so to flee or cross rough terrain.
