The '''Slaying mantis''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It is a mantis grown to the size of a grown man that slashes with its sharp claws.

==Characteristics==
Great green [[Bug family|insects]] sneaky insects with pink markings on its head and back that slice at foes with their sickle-like forearms. Sometimes they'll dish out extra damage with an extra strong slice. Their great gawking eyes never stop staring at their prey, not even to blink. Their name is a play on "praying mantis".
