The Man-Faced Manticore

0 Conversations

Reputed to prowl the jungles of India, the fearsome manticore had the body of a lion, the face of a man, and the stinging tail of a scorpion. Its huge jaws, however, were unique - they held three rows of razor-sharp teeth, upper and lower, that interlocked like the teeth of a comb when the beast closed its mouth. The teeth could slash nearly anything to ribbons, and the manticore was said to relish feasting on humans. The monster was dangerous from afar as well - with its strangely segmented tail, it could fire lethal stingers that traveled as much as a hundred feet.
