Mantis is the third bodyguard of Hermit in Act II of Shadow Fight 2. He wields Oriental Sabers as his weapons of choice. Mantis, like all disciples of Hermit, is named after a martial arts style: the Praying Mantis Kung Fu. Like the earlier disciples of Hermit, he really does not respect his master, due to his strong aversion of Magic. Unlike other disciples, who want to use Hermit's powers for themselves, Mantis wants to destroy it because he thinks that Magic has no place in martial arts. Mantis is well-built and appears as a monk like figure, covered in red robes.
In Act II, Mantis tells Shadow that he will get Hermit's power and it will end with him. Once he is defeated, he reveals Hermit's secret, Magic, and warns Shadow to beware of magic.
He returns in Interlude, where he fights Shadow as Hermit's third bodyguard.
Quotes[]
- No one should possess such power. This competition is pointless. I will win and the secret will end with me. - Mantis challenges the player
- Heed my warnings! Magic has no place in martial arts. It dirties the mind, clouds the focus, and in the wrong hands it can bring destruction and despair. - Mantis after being defeated
Trivia[]
- Even though he despises Magic so much, Mantis uses it when he is fought in Interlude. This is likely due to Hermit's desperation to stop Shadow from opening the Gates of Shadow again, and Mantis, alongside other students, were likely informed about Titan by their master.
- Mantis' old name is Monk, looks like his avatar.
