In 2014, after Snake infiltrated Liquid Ocelot's Outer Haven he was confronted by the final member of the Beauty and The Beast Unit, Screaming Mantis. After defeating her, Mantis' suit reformed and floated in the air, with Psycho Mantis spirit appearing behind it. He possesses an important role in the creation of the Beauty and the Beast Units, it being said that Screaming Mantis was given the personality of Psycho Mantis via nanobots and hypnosis in an attempt to control the other Units so that they would actually be effective in combat. Psycho Mantis returning from the grave because of this was an unintended but much welcome side effect, him being able to partially manipulate the women into functioning as actual war machines. Psycho Mantis once again shows Snake his telekinetic powers. If the player is using a DualShock 3, he cheers about vibration being back, otherwise, he complains that his powers aren't working. Afterwards, The Sorrow intervenes and sends his ghost to the grave for good.
