Manticores have vaguely humanoid heads, lion bodies, and wings of a dragon. A bristling mane stretches down the creature's back and its long tail ends in a cluster of deadly spikes that can impale prey.   Adolescent Manticore's wings are not yet developed enough to support flight.   Manticores serve masters that treat them well and provide regular prey.   Manticore's greatest territorial rivals include chimeras, griffons, perytons, and wyverns. Manticores fear dragons and avoid them.
