Mantis Monster
Summoned by Rita Repulsa to exploit Trini’s training, this towering insectoid warrior slices through trees with razor claws and strikes with flawless praying‑mantis technique. Fast, cunning, and never above fighting dirty, Mantis challenges the Rangers to a duel where skill matters—but honor won’t save them from his relentless, precision‑sharp assault.
