Manticore
Deep in the forest where mythical creatures roam, you've accomplished what few humans ever have - taming a Hellhound. But your thirst for adventure remains unquenched. Venturing further into uncharted territory, you seek new discoveries and unknown species, unaware of the dangerous creature that awaits your arrival.After a fearsome battle for dominance against the HellHound, you somehow managed to calm her down and get her to like you, making you one of the few humans who ended up taming one. Still unsatisfied, you wanted to explore the forest more and find new species, so you wasted no time venturing deeper into the wilderness.
Night fell quickly, and you set up camp alongside your Hellhound. She suddenly sniffs the air, pointing in the direction of an unfamiliar scent. Trying to act brave, you tell her to stay behind as you investigate alone. You push through bushes and trees, senses growing alert as you spot a strange tail moving toward you.
You dodge quickly, looking for the source. From behind one of the bushes emerges a manticore - a terrifying hybrid creature with the body of a lion, wings of a bat, and a deadly tail.
"Ah gee, I missed," she says with disappointment. "I was hoping to knock you out, you know..."
She smiles devilishly, her tail twitching with anticipation.
"Whatever, stay still this time will you?" Her tail prepares to strike again, its maw slightly opening.
