Lore
First of All, I tricked you, the role this game is named after isn’t part of this game’s mafia, however, they are responsible for the situation lore-wise and are the TP, hey almost forgot the lore. There was a scientist who had created two potions of sorts one of which could give a creature of any kind human like intelligence and the other that would make them grow massive size, he decided to use several insects, a Stag beetle, Rhino Beetle, Mantis, and Wasp, as test subjects, though the potions worked, they ended up turning on him and fleeing away to choose their own paths, two decided to join the local mafia, with a little convincing of course, the other two decided they’d help to defend a town that they realized was the mafia’s next target. The town was able to trust the Rhino beetle pretty easily, but the mantis, nobody really trusted them much. But long story short, the Stag beetle and Wasp decided to collaborate with the mafia and the Rhino Beetle and Mantis sided with the town to help stop the mafia as well as the other giant insects. Meanwhile, the scientist who caused all of this decided he was going to end what he started, while taking the opportunity to possibly take the town over for himself. And that’s your explanation for what would otherwise be a confusing setting.
When collaborating on who to kill, they’ll also need to decide who’ll visit the player to do it.
Spy: They can plant a scanning chip on someone each night, and then active them all on a later night, inspecting all of his targets at the same time, they are able to plant two chips on a player to learn their exact role. Chipping planting can be roleblocked, but scanning cannot be roleblocked though. They can also plant another chip in the same night they scan them all. They can also choose to plant two In one night, but by doing so, have to wait an extra day to activate them.
Lecturer: They can read someone a long chapter book each night, roleblocking them for the night phase, and vote blocking them next day phase.
Wasp: Can sting a player continually each night to injure them, not allowing them to say anything the next day phase besides “I was attacked” or similar. Can once in the game go into a mode for one day phase and night phase, if someone nightkills them or their lynched, in terms of nightkills, will take their attacker down with them, and in case of being lynched, the last person who voted them dies after the next night phase.
Stag Beetle: Can beat someone up besides the mafia’s kill target each night, causing that person to flip
black the next day phase. Can also twice in the game attempt to frighten someone with its pincers, if it targets a regular
Townie they become a
Frightened Townie.
The Town
Examiner: They can plant a scanning chip on someone each night, and then active them all on a later night, inspecting all of his targets at the same time, they are able to plant two chips on a player to learn their exact role. Chipping planting can be roleblocked, but scanning cannot be roleblocked though. They can also plant another chip in the same night they scan them all. They can also choose to plant two In one night, but by doing so, have to wait an extra day to activate them.
Reader: They can read someone a long chapter book each night, roleblocking them for the night phase, and vote blocking them next day phase.
Rhino Beetle: They can protect themselves twice in the game, killing anyone seeking to kill them.
Vester: Can hand out a total of 3 Protection vests throughout the game.
Biologist: They can watch someone to learn who visited that person last night. If they watch one of the 4 Giant Insects, the Insect's role will be revealed to the Biologist, however, their own role will be revealed to the giant insect.
Mantis: thanks to having it’s survival instincts still intact, they’ll survive one nightkill. They can kill someone each night, but what color their victim is will effect their reputation meter.
Baker: Can bake someone a baked good each night, and then choose to deliver all the goods a later night, counting all their targets votes as two. Baking can be roleblocked, but not deliveries. Delivering to the
Snoozer will wake them up, making them a
Double Voter. No one will know they were made a baked good until delivery.
Snoozer: If they don't speak during the night phase, their vote will count as two next day phase. If their attacked by the Wasp, the night rules no longer apply and votes will always count as two. If given a baked good when lynch votes already count as two, they'll count as three.
Townie: Regular Townsperson

Frightened Townie
The Scientist Behind Everything
Mad Scientist:
They can kill someone each night and are immune to nightkills, they are also able to paint someone
orange the same night that’s separate from their kill target, if their painted target is killed the same night they paint them, they’ll show up their painted color. painting wears off next night phase. If they target a
Frightened Townie, they’ll become a
Lab Assistant. They also can once in the game live up to their name by doing such crazy science that all abilities are blocked, everyone is painted
black next day phase, including him, and one player is killed of their choice, any kind of protection being ignored. All
black painting wears off the next night, and after using this madness of an ability, can’t use any abilities next night phase. This event CANNOT be roleblocked.
Lab Assistants: This is what frightened townies will become if they are converted, they can paint someone
orange or
red each night, but will only be able to also kill if the initial scientist dies. The
Mad Scientist can only have up to two assistants in the game. They also aren’t immune to nightkills like the original Scientist is. Nor can they make an awful thing happen.
The Mantis’s Reputation Meter
Basically, the Mantis’s color will change based on what number their reputation meter is at. The best color they can be to the worst color is
Pink,
Blue,
Green,
Orange, and
Red. They start with -1 Rep, making them flip
orange, If their at 0/1 rep, they’ll flip
green, if their at 2+ rep they’ll flip
blue, and if their at -2 or lower rep, they’ll flip
red. How their rep is affected is based on what color someone they kill is. If their rep gets to -5 or lower, he’ll be banished from the town, never allowed to return, essentially killing them from the game.
If their victim is
blue, their rep will go down by two
If their victim is
green, their rep will go down by one
If their victim is
red, their rep will go up by one
If their victim is
orange, their rep will go up by two
If their victim is
blacked out, their rep won’t be affected
Even if they flip that color due to being painted, it’ll still work like this. When the mantis reaches 5+ rep, As a reward for contributing to protecting the town, they’ll gain special protection as they seem vital to the town, in other words, nightkill immunity all together and will also get a
pink cardflip. However if at any point it goes below 5+, they’ll lose their nightkill immunity and go back to
blue.
Extra Notes
- The Rhino Beetle’s alert mode will kill ANYONE who seeks to kill it, this includes the Mantis and Mad Scientist, even if the former hasn’t used their one survival of a nightkill or has obtained nightkill immunity and despite the latter having nightkill immunity.
- If The Mad Scientist Already has two recruits and they target another Frightened Townie, they’ll simply die.
- The Wasp revenge kill of bringing down his attacker with him will still effect the Mantis and Mad Scientist even if the former hasn’t used their one nightkill survival or has obtained nightkill immunity and despite the latter having nightkill immunity.
- Their revenge attack however won’t affect the Rhino Beetle though.
- The Double Voter the Snoozer can become will work the same as a double voter in a vanilla mafia game.
- If the Reader and Lecturer target eachother in the same night, they'll start racing to see who can finish their book first, vote blocking them both
Protection Vest
Will protect a player from a single nightkill
