Manticore

Manticores are creatures native to the Plains region in the World of Gaia. Very hostile and dangerous creatures, it is one of the most lethal sub-sentient creatures hunting through the plains and sands. With claws of a lion, bat-like wings, and a human torso and head with three rows of sharp teeth, its scorpion tail may shoot venomous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims.

Almost following the mythos theme of the Plains region, the manticores are inspired not by the ancient Mesopotamian mythology but by later Persian mythos.

When tamed a manticore will produce five Food, while at the same time consuming two.
