The '''Manticore''' is one of the [[Wizard]]ing Worlds most dangerous creatures. It is a sentient beast, capable of intelligent speech, but has not been classified as a being due to its violent tendencies. A Manticore has a human-like head, a lion's body, and a scorpion's tail with a stinger. A Manticore's skin repels all known charms, so is effectively hard to subdue a Manticore with magic. |
