Frostgrave - Mantodeus

These large, predatory insects, are native to the lands far to the east. They were brought to the Collegium as zoological specimens. They escaped during the cataclysm and have survived through to the present by spending long periods hibernating in cocoons. When fully grown, mantodeus stand nearly five feet tall, and sport a pair of strong, barbed forelimbs which they use to disable prey before devouring them using their razor-sharp mandibles. Mantodeus have huge eyes and are able to turn their heads nearly all the way around – this exceptional vision makes it nearly impossible to sneak up on one.
