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.
