- Description
- Manticores have the body of a lion, bat-like wings, and the head of a human, although larger to fit their bodies. At the tip of their tail they have up to 12 spikes, which they can launch as weapons. The spikes regenerate in about a day.
- Comments
- Manticores like to hunt, and their favourite prey is man. They will lie in wait for a party, and then send their spikes whirling into it. If the Manticore’s lair is found, there is a chance that it will have dragged bodies with treasure on them into its cave.
- Abilities
- Manticores have no magical properties, and no special abilities other than the ability to launch their tail spikes.
- Movement Rates
- Flying: 500; Running: 350
