* ''WebOriginal/CodexInversus'': The female enchanting mantis hunts by using her forelegs to trace magical reactive glyphs in the air that cause other insects to be drawn towards them. Simple proximity to the incantation will only cause a target to subconsciously head in the mantis' direction, while seeing the incantation directly will compel prey to heads towards her and meekly await consumption.
