Welcome
Mantid in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Mantid
The Mantid are an insectoid race from Pandaria. They were once servants of the Old God Y'Shaarj, but have since broken free of his influence and are now non-hostile to other races. The Mantid believe in an ideology called the Cycle, which is to say they believe in throwing each generation immediately into combat, and those who survive are strong and meant to live, and then they fight again, and again, to get the strongest mantid.
