Mantis... something?

Unread post by Qraljar »

:D Whew. It has been a million-something excited additions.. and some more bummer-qualifying ones (no more melee for hunters has me near-fuming. Goodbye Dark Edge of Insanity.)

I believe some of you that remember me will remember how much of a freak for insectoid pets I was/am, some may even have been near-terrified by it. Assuming that I have an insect-fetish. (:D)

Some of you may also have hallucinated my screams of 'potentional nerdgasm' with the introduction of the 'Mantid' race. You guys were completely correct! :oops:

No, but to be serious. You guys have gotten your hands on the Cranes and Tigers already, and I'm not sure if it's been discussed yet (if so, feel free to kick my 'derriëre' for it), but among the screenshots was a little sneak-peak of insects of various color, that seemed more bestial than humanoid, with some of the descriptive traits of a mantis.

It's a small screenshot, I apologise for that.

So.. your thoughts?

I saw these and was wondering about them... I have no clue. And I dunno why but to me they sort of look like they could be water bugs... like bugs that float on top of the water? I dunno why, maybe their feet. <.<
