Mantisian's Race
CharacterThe Mantisians are a species of muscular, crab-headed aliens hailing from the Dover Demon's homeworld. Renowned for raw strength and durability, they bleed white blood that is identical to the milk of Earth's cows.
Overview
Often called Mantisians, this race comes from the Dover Demon's planet, a world now gripped by conflict. Their society runs on a tiered structure: the Dover Demon described himself as belonging to one of its lower, weaker classes. Technologically, the race builds spaceships and battle armor to support its combatants.
Mechanics
Physically, Mantisians take the shape of muscular humanoids topped with the heads of freshwater crabs. Their most striking biological quirk is their blood, which runs white and is in fact the same liquid as the milk drawn from Earth's dairy cows. That overlap is what allowed Seiko to substitute cow's milk for a Mantisian blood transfusion.
Notable Users
The race is built for combat, packing tremendous strength and exceptionally tough bodies that suit them to work as fighters or bodyguards. Their abilities were shown chiefly through the Dover Demon, also known as Mantisian, yet the full ceiling of the species remains unknown, since he ranked as a weak member and was scolded by the Serpo for poor showings in battle.
