Winger

One winger is no threat. The problem is, where there's one, there's another, and another dozen.

Wingers are the most widespread form of Mantides. There are hundred common units per one anthropoid. Wingers have a number of roles within a colony, such as soldiers, assaulters and enslavers. It is the Matriarch who decides, which roles are most needed, to produce more Wingers.

Thanks to shared colony memory, newborn Wingers possess basic skills. They are ready to get to work, as soon as their wings dry up. Wingers do not know fatigue and never disobey the Matriarch. One may doubt sanity or willpower of a Winger, a performing dull monotonous task or attacking blindly with no hope of victory. However, Wingers are sapient. Any job is done solely for the sake of the colony and the race. Unfortunately, capturing Aelion is one of the steps that has to be taken.
