Manticore

Manticore Is a monster within Lagios. The Manticore are fairly common and can be most commonly encountered especially in the Lethe region but other nearby nations such as Falx is not impossible for them to appear. Manticore are large lion-like creatures that have tails of a scorpion and possess wings and can easily take flight into the sky being one of few creatures that can fly without the use of aura at all. Manticore can also be seen alongside humans and they can also be tamed by humans as Ryo has shown as he had several Manticore under his command when he went and faced Bella and Mina. Despite possessing the ability to fly and thus easier to get to many places Manicore usually are not actively aggressive under normal circumstances and usually do not attack towns or villages where many humans could possibly be gathered but they can be aggressive and will fight fiercely if one is to be around their territory or if they are commanded to attack a target.

Appearance
Manticore Appear like a large oversized lion except the tail is that of a large scorpion and they have wings that enable them to fly. Their fur color is usually the same as a lions fur even complete with the mane.

Powers & Abilities
Manticore can take advantage of many methods to catch their enemies. Due to having flight, they can surprise via an attack from above or they can fight on the ground where they can then take advantage of their deadly jaws and teeth to try and bite someone or even use their scorpion tails to try and impale an enemy. Manticore also like to make use of their claws but one notable ability of theirs is their ability to stun and temporarily paralyze a potential foe with nothing but their roar which they incorporate aura into to use such a technique showing they have some degree of mastery over the use of aura. When met for the first time under the command of Ryo Mina noted that those Manticore were far stronger than the bandits she had faced prior who worked under Scorpio, The manticore was also able to pressure Mina at the time and even break through her guard at times and nearly overpower her in raw strength. Their claws can be very deadly and are shown capable to be able to utterly rip their foe to shreds as one had displayed under Ryo able to claw Bella and rip her body apart although she had turned to water afterward as her water body spell was active showing that overall even weaker Manticore at the time they had encountered them can be a considerable threat when given the chance. Manticore can also work together and they function well in groups due to their abilities and a roar able to paralyze.


 * Poison:Manticore also posses within their tails poison that can be injected into their enemies should they decide to do so. While their poison is not Highly lethal like the likes of that from Scorpio or even Irene it can still be a threat especially if one does not have any type of way to cure said poison.


 * Flight:Manticore are one of few creatures able to naturally fly without the need of a magic or aura as they possess wings naturally and can fly pretty quickly despite their great size.


 * Dread Claw:A claw based attack used by Manticore. When used dark red aura coats the claws and enables the Manticore to slash with much more power than it could normally.


 * Stunning Roar:An ability used by Manticores. When used they let out a very loud ear-piercing roar which when heard causes temporary paralyzes to their prey.
