Fun fact, the code name for Windows XP Embedded was “Mantis”.

Some mantis shrimp have a claw that can punch with the speed of a bullet. They’re not known for being friendly.

Sometimes code names… are perfect.
Mantis shrimp have extraordinary visual capabilities. Humans have 3 types of color-receptive cones (red/green/blue) mantis shrimp have 16, incl for ultraviolet light. This doesn't mean they see more colors; it allows for rapid color diff, crucial in the quick, murky & competitive env they navigate.
