==Summary==
Manticores were savage, man-eating magical beasts not dissimilar from the likes of Griffons and Chimeras, in that it was primarily a combination of three other creatures- a lion, a dragon, and a human. Its tail was from some unknown creature or possibly none at all, though it was an extremely deadly tool as it could rapidly fire out spikes as large as a sword.
Manticores are naturally evil creatures that seek to spread strife and pain. A rare mutation of the manticore is a scorpion's tail, though what causes this is as unknown as the cause of their own "normal" tail.
