What is a: Manticore

A manticore is a large lionlike beast with a long scorpid tail that is laced with a corrosive venom. It is known for its tastes for man flesh.

Manticore usually have large powerful wings and some times even horns sprouting from their skull.

They are strong fliers, able to carry the weight of three adult men when fully grown. However, it is wise to have a Manticore fully tamed before attempting to crawl on their back, for that scorpid tail can easily strike out over its head.
