Giant Mantis
CREATURE 3These massive cousins of normal praying mantises stand taller than an average human. They stalk through dense forests, striking at meals from the trees.
These monstrously oversized insects are silent predators with lightning-quick forelegs and a bone-breaking bite.

Lunging Strike
The giant mantis lunges forward, making a leg Strike with an extended reach of 20 feet.
Sudden Strike
On the first round of combat, creatures that haven't acted are Off-Guard to the giant mantis.
Grab
The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained
The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
