Now this is truly a creature worth bragging about, the terrible Manticore! While those unfamiliar with magic might dismiss it as a mere accident of nature, I must emphasize that few creatures possess such awesome power.
The feature most likely to draw your eye is the beast's head, which resembles that of a lion but with a human face and an excessive number of sharp teeth... And while you find yourself distracted by its beautiful coat of red fur, it will strike with the most deadly tool it has at its disposal - a scorpion-like stinger filled with the Manticore's venom. One sting from its mighty tail would lead to a near instantaneous death for any creature foolish enough to approach the beast.
