Descrição

Ageless beings that carry a vendetta against all civilizations, manticores are obscure and powerful individuals known from the folklore of the Caliphate. Sustaining themselves on human flesh and delighting in secrets, riddles, and wordplay, they are said to resemble massive hunting cats or birds of prey, but with a human face and the tail of a massive scorpion. However, they can also adopt human form, sowing chaos wherever they go. They seek power and the enslavement of mortals, and they are eager to make pacts with shortsighted sorcerers.
