The Manticore’s face is vaguely reminiscent of a human face, though its piercing eyes and multiple rows of jagged teeth reveal the creature’s malevolent nature.įor Dungeon Masters that are using a Manticore in their D&D 5e sessions, you will want to call special attention to the creature’s fearsome appearance.
These are thrown at enemies and regrow while the Manticore rests. Rather than the scorpion tail that they are depicted with in mythology, the Manticore in D&D 5e has 24 large tail spikes. On each foot, large and grisly claws threaten to sink into the party members. The Manticore’s mane is made of bristles that stretch down the center of its back.
With its large wings, the Manticore is able to swoop down on unsuspecting prey. Much like the creature of Persian legend, the Manticore possesses the body of a lion, the face of a human (somewhat), and a stinging tail.
