===Physical===
 
Slaver Mantoids resemble the Earth insects known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praying_mantis the praying mantis]. Their bodies have a greenish hue and average six to seven feet in height, with each Mantoid possessing distinct physical markings that distinguish it from others of its race. Their have large, protruding eyes that afford them a far greater field of vision than human beings. Slaver Mantoids are physically superior to baseline-normal humans, as they have been observed to move in a normal fashion with the speed of a jogging human (estimated top speeds of a Mantoid range to between 40-60 mph), and have perhaps proportional strength, as they have been seen to tear apart human bodies with ease. Their mandibles also possess great strength, as a Mantoid was observed biting the top of a human skull off with ease before consuming the human body.
 
The Mantoids are not indestructible, and have been shown to be vulnerable to even moderate physical attacks, with attacks of high levels of physical or concussive force delivering instant death. (This may be one reason as to why the Slaver Mantoids have not attempted a direct invasion of Earth, as even the weapons humans have at present would allow them to mount an effective defense.)
