How to catch Mantis Shrimp
Use the Shellfish Tongs. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Equip the Shellfish Tongs and search the intertidal zone along the beach.
- Shellfish are mostly stationary. The Pearl Oyster is the notable exception and can move.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.
Where and when to find it
Habitat: Intertidal Zone. Distribution: All Regions.

The mantis shrimp are fierce creatures with club-like claws that can easily shatter the armor that crustaceans are so proud of. Some have even given them the nickname "thumb splitters."
However, sometimes, a "hard" nature can be countered by a "soft" approach.
The octopus, which also dwells on the sea floor, injects a paralyzing saliva into the mantis shrimp, then feasts on it with the hidden beak inside its body.
