Standing roughly twenty feet tall and weighing over five metric tons,<ref name="universe"/> the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) armor system]], which itself was the evolution of [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|another HRUNTING project]]. Its spindly legs and tiny "thorax" give the Mantis a passing resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Mantis|its namesake]], as do its weaponized arms. Though it lacks the sheer firepower and durability of the [[M808 Scorpion]], the Mantis is far more maneuverable, requires one crew member, and is equipped with [[Energy shielding|regenerating energy shields]].<ref>[[:File:Mantis in action.jpg|Image showing energy shield flaring]]</ref | Standing roughly twenty feet tall and weighing over five metric tons,<ref name="universe"/> the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) armor system]], which itself was the evolution of [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|another HRUNTING project]].

The Mantis is capable of a maximum speed of 43.5–55.5 kilometers per hour (27–34.5 miles per hour).<ref name="universe"/> | ||

*'''Hannibal Mantis''': Variant upgraded by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] that features a rapid-fire gauss cannon, experimental ion field missile warheads that releases several submunitions, and the ability to EMP other vehicles with a stomp attack. While it doesn't have as heavy armor as the ONI variant it does have a stronger energy shield, at the cost of recharge time.<ref name="canon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-close-quarters '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Close Quarters'']</ref> | *'''Hannibal Mantis''': Variant upgraded by [[Hannibal Weapon Systems]] that features a rapid-fire gauss cannon, experimental ion field missile warheads that releases several submunitions, and the ability to EMP other vehicles with a stomp attack.

It also lacks the neural interface control systems installed on the basic model, something that was a necessary concession due to the older manufacturing technology on the ''Spirit of Fire''. This variant's default weapon is a chaingun, but it can be replaced with a gauss repeater, the missile capacity can also be upgraded. A shield requisition upgrade can be added to add shields to the Mantis. A target designator can also be added so the Mantis can "paint" a single target to coordinate attacks on using the local battle net, and if a group of Mantis walkers are together they will smart target their designators.<ref name="PL">'''Halo Wars 2''': [[Phoenix Logs#UNSC Units|Phoenix Logs]] - Mantis</ref> | ||
*'''Command Mantis''': Upgraded variant armed with twin high energy lasers and fitted with an advanced energy shield.

It incorporates one of the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s command-and-control nexus relays, enhancing Jerome's situational awareness of the battlefield and serving as a backup for the UNSC battlenet should the ship be crippled or destroyed.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/know-scope '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Community Update: Know-Scope'']</ref> | *'''Command Mantis''': Upgraded variant armed with twin high energy lasers and fitted with an advanced energy shield.
