Behaviour Notes
Witness accounts describe a deliberate, scientific presence, emotionally restrained, attentive and precise. Encounters frequently feature a single Mantoid present alongside one or more Grey-class entities. Communication is reported as predominantly telepathic, often described as 'instructional' rather than conversational. Reports emphasise scientific bearing, not monstrous appearance.
