YEAH, but THIS Manticore...d121. Will spare anyone willing to endure a lengthy reading of it's original poetry2. Worshiped as (evil) deity by pride of sentient lions w/subtly human-like faces3. Poison from variant scorpion-like tail acts as healing potion when administered in tiny doses, full stinger injectioninduces "death by healing" as tissues of victim redouble grotesquely until appalling cellular crash 4. Savage fangs, throat-rending claws and everything but eats only cake, swoons if presented one of surpassingquality5. Looking to extract bribes of gold, jewels, must amass fortune to pay off blood debt to dragon6. Ravishingly beautiful human face, desperately wants a kiss, if you kiss it w/sincere empathy it will (80%) transmuteinto original identity of ancient monarch, or (20%) bite your face off7. Overwhelming instinct to protect children, everyone else can go to hell8. Lusts for wizard flesh, blood, and spell-laden brains9. Reads a lot, has awesome library, a master of trivia, spellbinding raconteur, at some point in conversation spine-covered tail lashes out, taking it upon itself to initiate lethal mayhem10. Recently elected representative of dungeon guardians in wage talks with Dungeon Overlord, anticipatesimminent assassination11. Under blackmail threat by troll who witnessed illicit tryst between manticore and Dungeon Overlord's significantother, now must hunt for insatiable troll mouths as well as own12. Has waited patiently for uncounted years for arrival of prophesied champion who will ride manticore into battle

YEAH, but THIS Manticore...
