Ononokusu is not a mantis!
Ononokusu is not a Mantis! He doesn't even remotely resemble a mantis! I don't know why tons of people and even Serebii think so.

yeah. agreed.
but did you really have to make a thread ranting about it? idk but he does look like a bug dragon type to me. |

Maybe it could be a Fighting/Dragon type that some people wanted before... I don't see the mantis at all either I think it is a Dragon with an axe on its head.
|
Of course it isn't a mantis. It's a Pokémon.
Pikachu is called the "Mouse Pokémon." Does it look like a mouse? No, it looks like a Pikachu. |

I can't stand when people say "I can't even tell what it is!" It's obvious what it is, it's a Pokemon! |

Well it kind of sorta in a way does
But as the other person said pokemon are pokemon. |
who honestly cares what it's based on?..
i just LIKE it >=O but i sense a Front Row Seat for the Over-Used Community for it =\ |
Thank you!! Dragon-Axe is NOT a mantis! Although it looks Rock/Dragon or Bug/Dragon to me...or Bug/Steel if Game Freak wants to toy with the community :/

Honestly based on the blurry sprite from a video I can't really tell what it looks like.
Or at least not enough to assess whether it looks like a mantis or a dinosaur. :/ I'mma wait for muh Sugimori artz. |
It's not a mantis, case closed. People are just trying to find an excuse to make the rumors about a new mantis Pokemon come true.
|
The shape of its head, and its stance do resemble the mantis. Well before you get all up in my grill, to ME it does. Idk why I see a resemblance, but other than that they look nothing alike. Some people call it a mantis, well maybe they have reasoning too. Some pokemon look nothing like the animals they're based off of, and we can't say it is or isn't a mantis until we have more info on it.

^^^ Well I didn't mean to repeat what you said :D, but did you read my first post in this thread? How some pokemon look nothing like the animals they're based off of, however at the same time ononokusu's head/stance do resemble a mantis's in a way? There are over 2,000 species of mantis so like I said nobody knows if it is one or not till we hear more info on it.

Ononokusu could be the Axehead Dragon Pokemon too you know... |

If you do think its a Mantis: Since when did a Mantis have claws or fangs? Since when did a Mantis have a slender head? Since when did a Mantis have a curved tail? Since when did a Mantis have a Dinosaur body? It has short and stubby arms, which makes me think Ononokusu is a Raptor of some sort. |
Yeah I think it is a reptile it looks like a freaking lizard with an axe on it... regardless I'm using him he looks so badass xD

Here is a picture of Ononokusu compared to the Scyther (the Mantis Pokemon): http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4273/11571341m.jpghttp://www.legendarypokemon.net/images/dp_artwork/123.png See how scyther and ononokusu look nothing alike? Meaning of Ononokusu's name: Ono - axe, hatchet no - can be a possessive term? ku - 9? su - nest The "ono" and "su" seem to be accurate to the creature, but I couldn't make sense of the interior of the term. Then I tried "noku", which came to mean "to get out of the way". If you think a Dinosaur with an Axe on his head looks like a Bug you may be high on crack. |
