Breed ID:

Sprites and Descriptions
Alpha: This brightly-striped egg is nearly hidden under the leaves.

Beta: A cute little insect-like creature has hatched from the egg! It moves surprisingly quickly, and snaps at anything smaller than itself that moves.

Delta: A cute little insect-like creature has hatched from the egg! It moves surprisingly quickly, and snaps at anything smaller than itself that moves. Its forelimbs and tail have grown much longer, and developed sharp, poisonous barbs.

Omega: Mantipedes are fiercely antisocial creatures, and will kill and eat each other, and even their own newly-hatched young. Although primarily insectivorous, they will occasionally supplement their diet with small rodents and birds as well. The barbed spines on their forelimbs and tails secrete a paralytic toxin that allows them to quickly subdue surprisingly large prey. Mantipedes continue growing throughout their lives, and there are rumors of giant specimens, large enough to pose a serious threat to humans, living in remote areas. However, on average they are about 1 ½ to 2 feet tall, with a body length two or three times that.
