Line 20:
While the majority of Mantoids see humans (and other races) as cattle at best, some have a predilection to forcibly use human slaves as an extension of themselves to experience the sensation of sexuality. This may add to the theory that the Mantoids (like many creatures) are sexually active only for the purposes of reproduction, as most Mantoids and the slave races consider this behavior perverse, and such individuals are considered deviants to normal Mantoid society.
Mantoids prize newborn human infants for their flavor, and engage in ritual games of dominance for the right to consume them. These games can take place at any time once a human female begins to go into labor, and are fought only to the point of capitulation, as Mantoids do not believe in harming one another. The only time Mantoids will kill one of their own is to remove a ‘behavioral deviant’ from the community, to punish a Mantoid for the death of a female human (the Mantoids place supreme value upon the lives of breeder age females – women between the ages of 15 to 35) or of a human infant. (However, exceptions are made with worker females in order to establish dominance over other workers. This is accepted (albeit grudgingly so) and the Mantoid that does so must share his/her kill with others. Occasionally, in order to deny a victor the spoils of his honorable victory, a defeated Mantoid will react by killing (or attempting to kill) either the newborn or the woman before she gives birth. This is considered (at present) the greatest crime a Mantoid can commit, and is punished in the slowest, most grotesque and dishonorable manner possible. The worst of all possible deaths is for the Mantoid to be bound, placed in an open area and then set upon by human slaves, who are free to do whatever they see fit without fear of retaliation.
