Dark Mantis, known as Darkneid Kamakil (ダークネイド・カマキール Dākuneido Kamakīru) in Japan, is a New Generation Reploid from Mega Man X8 based on a mantis. Mantis has the ability to move freely in the darkness without restriction, and the darker it gets, the more dangerous he becomes. He was in charge of security for an underground military facility with an advanced security system, but when he became a Maverick, he used the facility to produce weapons for Sigma.
