Mantid Species (Beta)

Description
Have you ever looked at Starbound and wondered, "what if, but more bug?"

Wonder no longer. I present to you a brand new mantis race, complete with four insectoid legs and all associated movement animations.

All character assets are complete, including all standard movement animations. The species should also have racial bonuses in Frackin' Universe (it was working last time I checked), though without Frackin' there are no racial bonuses.

Unfortunately, no further updates are planned, as I have lost interest in working on this, as may be apparent by how I haven't updated in more than two years at time of writing. If you would like to take over the development, hit me up, I'd be happy to pass on the art assets to anyone interested in doing something with them.

Thank you very much for checking out this mod, I hope you enjoy it!

This was made possible by the Skittles Advanced Race Template, seriously this was a tremendously helpful tool making this mod.

You are free to use assets within this mod so long as credit to the original author (me) is given.

Changelog

Beta 0.9: Slimmed up the bodies of both genders to make them more insectoid. I also changed a couple of the clothing options to more appropriate options
