Deathtanz Mantisk

Deathtanz Mantisk (デスタンツ・マンティスク) is one of the first four bosses of Mega Man Zero 3. Mantisk is based on praying mantisis and the grim reaper, and was originally created for the sole purpose of execution, using his "Grim Reaper Sickles" to dispose Reploids. In the Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Telos, Deathtanz says he doesn't like to take an unnecessary life and that the dullness of his sickles were proof of peace. However, after being modified by Dr. Weil, he cares for nothing besides killing. He says the word "chika" frequently. He was sent by Dr. Weil to capture the Baby Elves, and is defeated by Zero.

A image of Deathtanz appear in Mega Man Zero 4 in one of Dr. Weil's attacks. He also appear in Mega Man ZX as a hidden boss in Area N, in a door that only opens if a Mega Man Zero 3 game is in the Nintendo DS.

Mantisk mainly attacks with his sickles, throwing them like boomerangs, cutting, or stabbing. If the player has A or S rank, he will use his EX Skill Rock Breaker, where he will making a rock fall from the ceiling and then cut in in pieces that are launched forward. Defeating him will give Zero the Light Body Chip, and if the player is at A or S rank, the 1000 Slash ability.
