Not at all! Unfortunately....the mantis we have in WoW are sentient beings called the Mantid so I wouldn't get your hopes up very high.

Wow that's an amazing mantis!

We have anthropomorphised versions of many beasts that exist in WoW. Bird people, bear people, monkey people etc. So I don't think there'd be a serious clash with the Mantid. But they'd have to make sure they were very distinct. It also may be too soon after the Mantid :)

Yup, and thus far (excluding the queen) the Mantid ended up being Bipedal making them more humanoid.

If the created a Mantis designed beast and it was a quadruped, it could definitely pull away from the Mantid race. Personally I LOVE the quadruped version, they look so good!

In fact some of the Mantid Concept work had them as quadrupeds

I would LOVE a pet like this! just give me a giant mantis, just tall enough to look over my head. This is by far my favorite kind of bug and I would love to run around with one.
