Manticore

Manticore

A manticore is a large, magical beast with the body of a lion, wings of a dragon, and a somewhat humanoid head. Its long tail has a cluster of deadly spikes, which the creature can launch at its foes as weapons. It has incredibly tough claws and fangs.  

Personality

Manticores are known to be savage man-eaters and allies of evil creatures. They are intelligent creatures and often work beside other evil beings to bring strife and suffering to the world.  

Description

Manticores are true monsters. They are giant beasts with the bodies of lions, the wings of a dragon, the head of a man, and a tail that ends in a mass of deadly spikes. The mouth of a manticore is full of rows and rows of razor-sharp teeth, similar to a great white shark. It uses these teeth to feed upon any creature the manticore can  catch, be it animal or human.  

Combat

Some manticores have tail spikes that carry lethal or paralytic venom. Often, these manticores have tails that are similar in appearance to that of a scorpion's stinger.  

Diet

Manticores are carnivorous. They prefer to eat human flesh, but happily settle for the flesh of other creatures as well.  

Uses

Manticore hide is used for furniture such as chairs.
