Project MANTIS (Massively Augmented Neo-Tech Integrated Soldiers) was one of the many projects undertaken by MOTH to defeat the Honkai. The project involved extracting the DNA of powerful Honkai Beasts found in the Previous Era and inserting them into human soldiers using ICHOR (Intra-Chromosomal Honkai Gene Repeats), in order to grant them superhuman abilities and innate Honkai resistance. The project was successful and was able to produce at least 16 known MANTISes by name, as well as many more unknown MANTISes who would perish in the battle against the Herrscher of Binding.[citation needed] The thirteen survivors of the "Tragedy of Binding" would join together to form an unsanctioned group of MANTISes known as the Thirteen Flame-Chasers under the guidance of Elysia, the group's founder and second-in-command.[1]
AHR (Active Honkai Reaction) is the after-effect condition that comes as a result of the surgery, which is also the final form of the MANTISes that can be manually activated. It turns them into a beast-like form, partially resembling the Honkai beast their genes are infused with, which most of the MANTISes cannot control.[citation needed]
Similar technology to the MOTH's MANTIS project would later be used in the Current Era.[2] World Serpent, a shadowy organization founded by the MANTIS scientist Mobius,[3] had a long tradition of using a different technology with similar effects to the MANTIS operation. Though it did not transform humans into a different species and had a much lower risk of side effects, the awakening of a stigma would cause a transformation similar to Active Honkai Reaction in individuals who underwent this procedure. Raven was among the World Serpent personnel who the technology was used on. Comparable technology was also used by Schicksal.[2] Theresa Apocalypse, a synthetic human being created by Schicksal's Otto Apocalypse through the combined DNA of the powerful human Valkyrie Kallen Kaslana and the Honkai Beast Vishnu,[4] was sometimes described as a MANTIS.[5]
