Manticore

The Manticore is a conventional beast used for transportation and war beasts. Manticores are known for their differences between the sexes, as well as their use in wartime. Females are more prominent than their male counterparts and are more aggressive than them. Even so, Manticores are able to be tamed by every species in the right conditions. Manticores are mammals and aren't sentient; the average female usually has about two pups with its male mate. More healthy females are capable of having six, although only about three to four survive childhood due to the severity of Laitheran's wilds. Another impactful aspect of the Manticores is their relationships with their offspring and mates. Manticores are emotional creatures when it comes to their family. Caring and generous, the Manticores express genuine sorrow when a member of the family is killed, and they often become angry and aggressive toward whatever killed their family member. This allows the Manticore to form meaningful relations with Sapiens as well.

Physiology
The Manticores vary between males and females, as the two sexes have striking contrasts. Nonetheless, the two have similarities, such as their hair colors being black, brown, or grey (Older Manticores usually are grey, but some Manticores have been observed having natural grey hair). The eye colors of the Manticores are black, brown, yellow, or orange. Stronger Manticores have been seen with gleaming eyes, most reputably yellow eyes. The eyes of Manticores also allow them to possess night vision. One feature of the Manticore is their wings, which allows the Manticore to fly. As for the differences between the sexes, females are typically larger than males. Their tails are also different, as the female's tail is used for stabbing prey. The venom on a female's tail is much or toxic and poisonous; the poison can kill a Sapien within minutes. However, the male's tail can shoot toxic spikes, but they aren't as poisonous than their female counterparts. Manticores are seen mainly in hilly and dense tropical forests, which are plentiful in prey for this carnivorous animal. As stated earlier, Manticores travel in pairs, unless if they've started a family. This causes them to be aggressive when it comes to Sapiens, especially in the wild. However, bonds of trust can be formed between Sapiens and Manticores, resulting in a Manticore's passiveness to other Sapiens. Outside of captivity, Manticores live for about 20-30 years, longer if they're raised by Sapiens.
