==Storyline==
===Amonkhet===
The Manticores of Amonkhet are wingless, with the bodies and heads of great cats, spiked legs and a scorpion tail. They are used in the trials of the five gods to test the inhabitants of Naktamun.Plane Shift: Amonkhet <c title="Some">Manticore Eternal</c> were zombified and joined Bolas' army of Eternals.
===Dominaria===
Dominarian manticores have the wings of a bat. They are known to see every other creature than their own as food. A <c>crimson manticore</c> in the service of Geyadrone Dihada once attacked Dakkon Blackblade on Corondor, and was killed.
===Mercadia===
In contrast to most Manticores, those on Mercadia have feathered wings.
===Theros===
Theran Manticores live in the far reaches of Theros, beyond leonin lands. A manticore has the body of a lion, a human-like head with many rows of teeth, and a deadly tail. Akroans say each manticore is the reincarnated spirit of a once-great warrior, part of an army slaughtered defending its homeland from archons. The warriors were so full of life and valor that the gods intervened and transformed them into manticores. It is said that Purphoros forged the manticore's tail from bronze, its teeth from silver, and its heart from hate.Flavor text for <c>Dreamstalker Manticore</c>
