Features

                The Manticore is most distinctively described as having the head and body of a lion and a serpent for a tail. It also has large bat-like wings. The serpent tail can shoot poisonous barbs, while its triple rows of razor-sharp teeth are perfect for tearing into prey. It usually has a reddish gold coat and stands approximately 8 feet tall. Its claws can shred through steel. It also can shoot jets of fire from its mouth.

Habitat

                The Manticore is said to inhabit remote and desolate regions, far from human settlements. These include deep forests, deserts, or mountains. While they have been known to venture to populated regions to hunt, most human interactions are brief, as the Manticore usually does not allow them to live for long.

Diet

                The Manticore is a violent predator primarily feeding on large mammals, including humans. Its “man-eater” label highlights its preference for human flesh. Thought to be an Ambush Predator, it is believed that they lie in wait for their prey, using its camouflage and speed to surprise and overpower their victims. It can also attack from above, using its 30-foot wingspan to divebomb unexpected prey.

Mannerisms

                A solitary and aggressive creature, The Manticore is quick to attack anything that enters its territory. Due to its remote habitat and predatory nature, sightings of the Manticore are rare, adding to its mystique and fearsome reputation. Its roar is known to render humans immobile, leading to more stories of terror.
