The Praying mantis is a Summoning familiar that a player is able to summon at 75 Summoning.

Praying mantis pouch
A Praying mantis pouch is made by using a Summoning pouch on a Summoning obelisk with 168 spirit shards, a Crimson charm and Flowers of any colour but black and white in the player's inventory. Using the pouch to summon a Praying mantis costs 8 summoning points.

Mantis strike scroll


The Mantis strike scroll enables the use of the Mantis strike special move for a Praying mantis. Using a Praying mantis pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates ten Mantis strike scrolls.

Mantis strike
Mantis strike is the special move of the Praying mantis, activated by a Mantis strike scroll. When activated against an opponent, it uses a magic based attack (max hit 170) which always drains the opponent's prayer and binds if it deals any damage. Each use of a Mantis strike scroll requires 6 special move points.

Trivia

 * The examine text is a reference to the movie Karate Kid.
 * The secondary ingredient for the praying mantis used to be a red flower. This was changed to any flower in a later update. Currently any colours except for black and white may be used.
