The manticore is a man-eating monster of Persian and European folklore that resembles a lion with a human head, shark teeth, and a tail full of poisonous spines. Despite the manticore's human features, its intelligence is that of an animal. When it speaks, it is only parroting words in a high-pitched falsetto.
