The '''Compos mantis''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It is a man-sized mantis that sows discord with its abilities. Its name is a play on the term "[[Wiktionary:compos mentis|compos mentis]]".

==Characteristics==
Mad [[Bug family|mantis]] monsters with a garish purple and yellow color scheme that slash and cut enemies with toxin-infused claws, causing a fast acting confusion, driving them to assault friend or foe alike. The sneaky, purple skinned beasts even sling a confusion-causing spell to sow further chaos through the ranks of foes.
