Info

Standing about two feet tall, the Pu'Uwai Mantis remains the smallest of the evolved petpets. This armored buggy is a resilient pet, that loves to cuddle and stick close to the floss they are bonded to. They walk on their back four limbs and will refuse to let their front arms become dirty.  Though they are more often found fluttering in the air. The wings sprouting from their back create a humming sound when they fly and create a chirping would when rubbed together. This 'chirp' is a signature sound in Lambda and marks the start of summer in other clans when the Pu'Uwai migrate north when the weather is at it's hottest. Like their pre-evolution the Pu'Uwai Mantis has the power to harness emotions from the floss they come in contact with, and use this as substance. The tastes of a Mantis are more refined than the Agapi however, and they tend to desire more negative emotions like jealousy, fear, and anger, and will tend to stick close to floss that frequently have these feelings so they can feed off of them. When you see a Pu'Uwai Mantis following someone, it's a sign that they may be depressed or heart broken, this has caused the Mantis to gain notoriety for being bringers of sadness.
