Manticore

Manticores are not native from the realm of Ereb Altor, but are conjured by magicians and bound to follow their orders until they have served their purpose or died trying. Although they are summoned to Ereb Altor they are very much material creatures, and will bleed and die as all other biological creatures. But they can not reproduce in this realm, neither do they age or get sick. Neither do they starve, they are predators and will eat, but they will never take any damage from lack of food or water. But they will be very hungry though.
Manticores are intelligent but compared to humans they are not very smart. They are a dangerous foe though as they are apex predators, who knows full well how to stay hidden and sneak up on their adversaries.
Manticores have their own language which is hard for other species to learn as they lack the throat and mouth of Manticores. Some Manticores who have been in this realm for a long time have learned to speak the language of the culture they reside in.
