I think the word you're lookin for is "preying" arms...
Unless you pointed to the possibility that the mantis is religious.

This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Well here we are, finally. a big ol' mantis good enough to eat. Requested by Trillium, and i hope he enjoys it. Uses ingame textures and custom anims, 484 polys. Don't bother pointing out the terrible uv mapping, it was the best i could do with ingame textures that i could find. However if you have any suggestions about how to improve it, or would like to reskin it for me, or could find some appreciation for the job i actually did, i would be very happy in that case.
ENJOOOI. Credits would be nooice as it took some time to make.
--------------------------------------------
EDIT: Recalculated normals and fixed up the uv.
Special thanks to HappyCockroach and Zerox for explaining normals to me, and Cavman for vital feedback. THUNK YUS xoxo.
--------------------------------------------
EDIT2: Attachment points. (Hands right + left, Head, Overhead, Chest, Origin)
--------------------------------------------
EDIT3: Recalculated normals again, added an additive green texture over the eyes like thrikodius recommended, certainly looks better. THUNK YUW xoxo.
--------------------------------------------
EDIT4: Used oinkerwinkle's mdl-finalizer to recalculate normals this time, fixed the hole in the neck, and optimized using ghostwolf's optimizer.
Keywords:
Mantis, Insect, Giant, Green, Camouflage, Delicious, Scary, Praying, Prey, Religious, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Rayquaza.

"Praying Mantis" is actually just another name for a Mantis.

This mantis, in particular, is especially religious.

not much at all, just recalc normals and a green texture on the eyes. sorry but i really don't have the modeling skill or the patience to make the forearms bigger, as it would muck up the rest of the anims. i would've loved to though

Praying Mantis is an awesome insect! Great model, but give it longer pincers and a longer body will make it like better.
