The Mantis Exosuit was an exosuit that was wielded by a Kur. The exosuit soon met its destruction following the wielder's battle against Mr. Mantis Shrimp.

Appearance

An exosuit suit designed to resemble a mechanical praying mantis. In comparison to the other exosuits, it can be categorized as one of the tallest.

Capabilities

Capabilities
Laser Blades
	The Mantis Exosuit's raptorial-like forelegs are designed to form sharp laser blades that serve as the exosuit's main form of combat, being used to deal cuts to the wearer's opponent.
Underwater Form (水中フォーム, Suichū Fōmu?)
The Mantis Exosuit possesses a shapeshifting feature where it can allow the wearer to fight underwater, which according to the Mantis Exosuit Kur, is 100 times stronger than it is on land. The underwater form changes the exosuit's mantis design into a water beetle.
Swimming
	Being its underwater form, the Mantis Exosuit grants the wearer great swimming capabilities that allow them to swim through the water with such great speed and force that even opponents who fight naturally in the water, such as Mr. Mantis Shrimp, will find themselves unable to keep up with the wearer's attacks. This is due to the four legs acting as underwater jets.
Enhanced Strength
	Though the wearer is unable to use the Mantis Exosuit's laser blades while in the water, the Mantis Exosuit's underwater form exchanges them for an increase in power and speed in its legs that are able to crack the seabed.
Venom
	The underwater form features a large mouth needle that injects an opponent with venom capable of dissolving all of their internal organs.

History

Past

The Kur of the Advance Unit was already in possession of the Mantis Exosuit at the time of the invasion of Sumer.

Kintama Hunt Saga

Space Globalists Arc

The exosuit was put into action by its Kur wielder to fight against Okarun in his Turbo Granny form after part of the Kur's Advance Unit confronted him.

During the Kur's attempted invasion of Earth, the Mantis Exosuit Kur wielded his exosuit to thwart the Family's efforts to reach and seal the warp gate intended to summon the Kur's fleet. Facing off against Mr. Mantis Shrimp, the Kur unleashed the exosuit's laser blades, overwhelming the crab alien with a flurry of slashes. Their battle led them to a river, where the Kur activated the exosuit's Underwater Form to continue the fight underwater. With its enhanced speed and strength, the Kur gained the upper hand and prepared to end the battle by injecting Mr. Mantis Shrimp with the exosuit's venomous needle. However, following Mr. Mantis Shrimp's transformation into his Dover Demon Strong Style Twenty-Four form to perform an amplified punch, the exosuit sustained damage and was ultimately destroyed in an explosion by his Jet Punch, leading to the elimination of its operator as well.

Trivia

• It is possible this Exosuit is inspired by the aliens in George Méliès famous film A Trip to the Moon, which are often described as being mantis-like despite not looking at all like them.
