The '''Manticore''' is a monster originating from Clasical Mythology. Said to originate in Persia, it is a [[Sphinx]]-like monster consisting of a lion with a fang-toothed human's head and a tail covered in myriad spikes, which it can launch to impale victims from a great distance. Some variants instead just give it a simpler [[scorpion]]-like stinging tail instead. In fantasy games, the manticore is occasionally depicted with bat-like wings, allowing it to fly.<br />
<br />
The creature is generally considered a fierce, malevolent and ravenous brute, seeking only to gorge itself on as much raw meat as it can find and attacking anything that moves in pursuit of food and/or the pleasure of the kill.<br />
<br />
==Dungeons & Dragons==<br />
The manticore has been around in [[Dungeons & Dragons]] pretty much since the beginning. The standard depiction is as a brutish but roughly sapient flying predator with vicious melee attacks and the ability to hurl spikes from its tail as ranged attacks.<br />
<br />
==Warhammer==<br />
In the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] setting, manticores are flying, leonic beasts associated with [[Chaos]]. They are sometimes used as steeds both by [[Chaos Champion]]s and by [[Dark Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Druchii]] leaders - indeed, the Druchii revere the manticore as an animal sacred to [[Khaine]], such is the beast's love of slaughter.<br />

Manticore monstergirls are rare, but quite distinct from your standard [[catgirl]], what with the flying and the stinger tail. They are often especially aggressive in temperament.<br />
<br />
The [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]] version of the manticore is particularly infamous, as not only does it have a tail covered in spikes that secrete aphrodisiac venom, but the bulbous tip of the tail actually opens up into a tentacle-filled secondary vagina that secretes the same venom as part of its lubricating fluids. The ability of this monstrous sexual organ to extract semen from men is almost memetically infamous.<br />
