A walking leaf, which is not a mantis.

Quoted By:

>>13776796
Leavanny appears to be based on both a bipedal Phylliidae and, like its prevolutions, is also based on the Epargyreus clarus caterpillar. Its leafy "dress", "collar", and "paned sleeve" arms may be based on a combination of both men and women's fashion in the early 1600's. Because of the way it acts towards smaller Pokémon and its baby Sewaddle, it could also be based on a human mother as well as a female earwig. Its general body structure is also similar to that of a Praying mantis. Considering the Pokémon is based on a praying mantis, it would likely bear traits with the Choeradodis genus, the Pokémon sharing a distinguishing characteristic, a laterally expanded thorax and anterior.

Of course it looks like one, what are you talking about?

It's thin, has the general same body structure, FUCKING SCYTHES FOR ARMS.

Of course it's not going to look exactly LIKE a mantis, but that's because when a Pokemon is based off of something, it's exactly that. Based off of it. Taken inspiration to make an original design that has a base concept.

.. I mean.. unless you think rats are purple and can shoot lightning bolts, or that butterflies have telekinetic powers.

Not the same guy you're arguing with, and not entirely sure if it IS a mantis, but you're a dumbass.

not in the slightest, especialy since mantis "forearms" are extremely typical and definite the look to begin with

mantis head isn't round. at all

So then scyther isn't a mantis either? Because it's arms share less in common with mantids than leavannys.

No, but if they all stack up, it takes shape as a mantis.

Also, it's a god damn cartoon design.. things will be more simplistic or exaggerated or stylized. Stop being dumb.

What attributes are you talking about? Leavanny's arms are scythe like, the thorax is a bit strechted like that of a mantis and the abdomen also is more in the shape of that of a mantis.

And adding to the anon previously, Leavanny's abdomen (ass) is shaped very much like a mantid's. It has the same shape and is covered likewise.

Still I'm saying that Leavanny is likely a mix. Hooded mantis is cute.
