About Manticore

The manticore is a chimeric apex predator with a lion's body, bat-like wings, and a tail packed with iron spikes it can launch like projectiles. It is aggressively territorial and highly cunning — sometimes even capable of speech, which it uses to taunt victims.

  • •Tail Spikes (range 100/200) allow three ranged attacks per action — it can deal tremendous damage from complete safety.
  • •Prefers to hover beyond melee range and use spike volleys until melee fighters are weakened.
  • •Will retreat if brought below half HP, returning later to finish off the wounded.
