If the Griffin is a regal yet deadly creature, this thing is nothing but pure, butt-ugly evil. The Manticore was a beast that consisted of the head of a blue-eyed human, the body of a lion, and the tail of a stinging scorpion. Tales of these terrifying creatures originated in documents written by ancient Greek authors who wrote about their travels in Ancient India. According to these myths, these beasts had three rows of shark-like teeth, and they released a bellow similar to that of a trumpet.
