Homebrew Mantisfolk Species Details

Often living deep in the forest Mantisfolk are often found by travelers who are lost. A secluded people, Mantisfolk usually stick to themselves unless provoked. They live in small tribes of 20-25 and each are ruled by a council of elders. These elders are said to speak for the god of the wild Pan and in return are given divine power. Now most other Mantisfolk practice in Druidic based Magic’s and they have a small number dedicated to melee defense. Anyone found practicing  arcane magic of any kind is accused of witchcraft, branded with a mark so other mantis know the wrong doings of it, and exciled from the tribe. Their lack of hands makes holding objects very difficult and their 4 legs make them a very fast and although their wings can’t grant them flight it can carry them a little further or higher.
