Bestiary Entry
Derivation: Scythe Mantis

''Scythe Mantis born with naught in its heart but rage. Hunted in the Salikawood.''

Requirement
In order to find the Rageclaw the player must have spoken to the "Huntmaster" in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon, which will trigger the start of the Rare Game quest. To spawn the Rageclaw, once the player enters Piebald Path, he/she cannot kill any enemies nor let any enemies be Cannibalized. After sixty seconds, the Rageclaw will spawn near the exit opposite the one the player entered through.

Battle
Rageclaw is a particularly tough foe. It can be defeated easily, but if you want to test your strength Rageclaw is a great enemy to fight. You can get this enemy to a very high level if you lure it to other enemies. It will Cannibalize the enemies fighting beside it. Rageclaw is capable of using Cannibalize numerous times. When it gets to a very high level it can damage a character for 9,999 HP with a single attack, though its Pulsar Wave doesn't do damage for 9,999 HP. The Rageclaw is very fast and a good idea is to cast Reverse on a character. Physical attacks are useless if its level is high enough, then you must rely Magicks or Quickenings to defeat it.
