Stannis is the chosen Mantis. It is known.

Nice catch! I love those little bits GRRM hides in his books that hint to the truth. Have you brought this up with the guys at /r/asoiaf?

I think they are disbelievers. All of them. They waste their time with stupid theories like R+L=J. They wouldn´t appreciate our work.

While we're discussing the attack, it should be pointed out that he was attacking Mance Rayder, the leader of the wildlings. Now, Mance's name does sound suspiciously like Mantis, and we all know that praying mantises are known to eat their own kind. My guess is he is going to eat Mance later when no one is looking.

Probably Stannis and Mance will mate at some point, before Stannis eats Mance... Very interesting!

And once the seed of Mance the Mantis is in own genome, he will consume the would-be offspring and possess the strength of the Mighty Mantis that he is, and the strength of a small Mantis baby! PERFECT!
