Species: Manticore Infamous for their taste for human flesh, manticores have been hunted almost to extinction across all of Tymaera. Even on the continent of Caevalonia they're now few and far between, haunting only remote mountainous and forested regions where they can pick off lone travellers or small settlements with ease. They possess an intelligence above most animals but there is no record of any manticore being able to talk, despite their humanoid countenance. Males and females are distinguished by their faces and slightly smaller size of the females. Both sexes have manes. Their colouring is usually black and red and all manticore have piercing brilliant blue eyes. Manticores are predators but much prefer to eat humans or, at a push, dwarves and elves. Strangely they show no interest at all in feeding on any of the half-beast races such as degarii or ranwulfs which fuels legends of their origins as a tribe of cannibalistic humans who were transformed by one of the dark gods as a 'gift' for their worship.
