These creatures have "the face of a man, the mouth open to the ears with a treble row of teeth beneath and above; long neck, whose greatness, roughness, body and feet are like a Lyon: of a red colour, his tail like the tail of a Scorpion of the Earth, the end armed with poison, casting forth sharp pointed quills as an archer's arrows."

A dastardly of manticores can make an area impassable by travelers. Instinct: To consume metal and flesh
