Grand Mantis is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII.

In its artwork it is referred to as "Ground Lobster", although the accompanying Japanese itself would translate to "Grand Lobster" (グランドロブスター, Gurando Robustā?).

Stats Edit

Battle Edit

Grand Mantis always scores a critical hit with its Super Arm. It'll also try to inflict Silence with Melting Bubbles.

Etymology Edit

[view · edit · purge]Mantises is an order of insects that contains over 2,400 species and about 430 genera in 15 families worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. Most are in the family Mantidae. A common name, often applied to any species in the order, is "praying mantis" due to the typical "prayer-like" posture with folded fore-limbs, although the eggcorn "preying mantis" is sometimes used in reference to their predatory habits. In Europe and other regions, however, the name "praying mantis" refers to only a single species, Mantis religiosa.
