A type of Mantis only found in Wonderlands.

When the Queen of Hearts came across a Mantis in her many playground affairs of Wonderland, she quickly became infuriated by the Mantis's lack of emotions to well... anything. So, the Queen cursed the Mantis into a new form, and forever bounded them to be her personal 'hunters' to find and incapacitate all those that enter without 'permission' from herself or her 'playmates.' Not satisfied with the Mantis's original tools of 'killing' she decided to add a few of her own and some other 'small' perks.

Most Elytras are brightly colored, with skin shades of varying green, orange, yellow, red, and blue, and sometimes a dark purple. Their antenna that a Elytra has is incredibly inquisitive, flickering about at incredible speeds whenever something they deem interesting is going on. Their mantis 'scythes' have grown considerably longer and more jagged in appearance, but due to the involvement of the Queen of Heart's spell, these weapons only bring raw pleasure to those that they strike. Most of a Elytra's abdomen is brightly glowing with a yellow light and be clearly seen in most forms of darkness, at the end of their abdomens is a hole which a stinger protrudes from and being stung by such a thing is oddly feelingless, making it dangerous to leave one out of sight. Some older Elytras grow two long jutting horns and this signifies them as a 'Matron' which will be described later, however those with the horns are the most powerful type of Elytra.

As said above, the Queen of Hearts cursed the Mantis into being her personal hunters, scouring the land for any hostile invaders and taking them down, before appropriately bringing them to trial before the Queen. Those that are brought before this way are usually 'executed' by the Elytra as punishment for their crimes... and by executed I mean mercilessly raped and taken in as a husband. Those Elytra that already have husbands simply give the man away to any who'd be willing to be a replacement 'executioner.' However if the invader is a women, then they are simply publicly monsterized, this process however is quite long and probably embarrassing for the women at hand, to which well... you know how it always ends.

How do they capture invaders you say? Well, all Elytra store a potent but slow-acting venom in their abdomens simply known as 'Mystic Venom.' This venom when injected from the stinger causes the injected to be slowly paralyzed, this paralyzation is actually... quite pleasant, in a horrid sort of way. The feeling of which as if you are being so pleasured that your joints and muscles start to lock up, if that is even possible. And for the Elytra herself, she need not do anything else if the man or women is sufficiently weak enough, as they will leave a trail of combined SE and DE that all Elytras recognize to be one that is affected by a venom of theirs or another Elytra. Of course, stronger-bodied invaders require more... convincing, to surrender.

If this is the case, in-combat Elytras are nothing to scoff at, their increased energeticness makes it so they can readily predict one's attacks and block accordingly with their massive scythe appendages, with their arms being quite enough to block most normal and magical attacks, attacking themselves, they are quite fast and combine their stinging and swipes quite ingeniously to perform maximum effectiveness. And even if this is not enough, the Elytras were gifted a excellent way to get out of combat if they wish. That's right, they can walk on water and other such liquids, and when the lakes of Wonderland are concerned, there is no way that any would-be invader would walk into the 'water' to fight a opponent at such a disadvantage.

And even after all of that, the invader is still on the advantage... they must know... that all Elytras hunt in packs, quite large packs I might add. They function in a way, almost similar to ants, but not quite. The Matrons are the leaders of these packs and have a much more oppressive venom known as the 'Mystic Death.' Which only causes the death of your muscles I'm afraid, this type of venom has a much longer duration then the regular Mystic Venom and functions essentially the same in how it works. These Elytra will work in tandem to bring down more powerful prey, with the one to actually bring him or her down be the one to present it too the Queen of Hearts.

However, while in the past the Queen of Hearts might have delighted upon trial, upon trial, upon trial. It has lost its charm and the eventual role as 'hunter' of the Queen of Hearts was gone and tossed to the wind. Instead now, whenever they bring would be prey down, invader or not, they function rather similarly to werewolves with the Matron getting first dibs on the man or women to transform. Before bringing them down the line for the next or so on. Sometimes, the Queen of Hearts will call them back if the invader was rather noteworthy or she if just wanted too, no one really knows. Those that get these packs of Elytras as their harem get rather energetic but serving wives that strive for much of his need. Which has pretty much stained with pleasure at this point, oops. Though, those with better mental faculties may haps be able to make more use of these relentless trackers.

Regularly, when a Elytra is not on 'duty' and with the rest of their group or perhaps alone. They are always trying to find something to do or see that is interesting or new. A sense of fervent excitement follows their actions, sometimes seemingly forced, sometimes not. This is obviously in opposition to the Mantis's usual emotionless behavior that the Queen of Hearts desired. They frequent the tea parties as well, sometimes spicing the teas up with a substance known as ''Felldew. ''Otherwise some Elytra's like to watch other Wonderland mamono go about their days, while not as task-masterish as the Gnarls, some do try and make a mamono's lives easier by help with capturing a man. And if the the Elytra is a loner, perhaps be introduced into a harem.

Upon becoming sexually excited, effectively being a alternative to 'lubricant' (Read: pussy juice) they produce a richly smelling green substance known as Felldew this substance is essentially a extremely powerful drug. When ingested by anything other then a mamono or incubi, it will cause a intense euphoric effect that to anyone looking outward would make people think them quite mad. However this effect only lasts for a couple seconds and withdrawals of this Felldew are quite severe, weakening of muscles, dampening of intelligence... Leaking of spirit energy so that ever mamono, especially Elytras know of your presence. Though the one who produced the Felldew will know exactly where the person who ate it is. Those who suffer at withdrawals at its greatest will seemingly know where the closest Elytra is at any point and will instantly submit in order to stop the withdrawal effects. Which the Elytra will gleefully provide, essentially getting a husband out of the deal. Both men and women have a greater chance of ending up in Wonderland while under its effects or withdrawals, men especially, sleeping may find themselves waking up in a tea party's chair. Walking around may end up with them slipping into a hole and other such things. Women who suffer the final withdrawal effects turn into another Elytra.

Some Elytras sell their Felldew to merchants like Gyoubu Danuki and tell them to specifically sell it to men, so even beyond Wonderland a Elytra can still get a husband by essentially drugging them across the realms. Mamono and incubi can ingest Felldew without any adverse effects and still suffer from the high.
