Barded Manticore
A rare manticore with the unheard-of gift of spellcasting, as treacherous as its kin and drawn to battlefields and worked metal.
Barded manticores are treacherous and dangerous beasts, and the only known member of the manticore species with the innate ability to cast spells. Luckily, these creatures are incredibly rare, mostly found near battlefields and other sources of worked metal, though stories tell of a particularly clever barded manticore attempting to make herself a home deep under the Magaambya.
