Standing roughly twenty feet tall and weighing over five metric tons,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) Geyrion]], 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/Reuse|THB 10.17.12}}<ref>[[:File:Mantis in action.jpg|Image showing energy shield flaring]]</ref> The Mantis integrates many features seen in the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], such as the [[neural interface]] link, compact [[Fusion reactor|fusion power plant]], and shield generator. The Mantis is capable of a maximum speed of 43.5–55.5 kilometers per hour (27–34.5 miles per hour).{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | Standing roughly twenty feet tall and weighing over five metric tons,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the Mantis is similar in appearance to the larger [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) Geyrion]], which itself was the evolution of [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|another HRUNTING project]].

During the early concept phase, [[343 Industries]] considered implementing the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Exoskeleton|HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I powered exoskeleton]] from the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short ''[[Prototype]]''. Later concepts derived from this design featured a larger exoskeleton that would cover the wearer's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]. Designing the Mantis required months of playtesting, much of which involved tweaking the speed of the "stomp" move. One of the biggest concerns was making it clear when a player is reloading the Mantis' weapons; originally, the Mantis held its arms forward as the weapons were reloaded. Due to playtesters' feedback, the animation was changed so that the mech lifts its arms when new ammunition is being fed.{{Ref/Reuse|THB 10.17.12}} | During the early concept phase, [[343 Industries]] considered implementing the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Exoskeleton|HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I powered exoskeleton]] from the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' short ''[[Prototype]]''.
