Lobster-Mantis
The lobster-mantis is an animal originally born from animal merging magic and raised in foxen farms in Tyali for their meat and tough exoskeletons. They are, as their name implies, a mixture of lobsters and mantis.
They mainly resemble lobsters, with hard shells and fanned tails. However, their legs are elongated like a mantis and they have scythe-like arms instead of pincers.
The lobster-mantis was originally supposed to be culled when animal merging was outlawed, but due to an error they were instead released into the wild. Now they are commonly found in the waters between Carra’Jor and Aurn’la Ann, and considered a pest species due to their damaging effect on the natural ecosystem.
