They are Chaos' dark reflection of the Griffon, for Chaos must, by its nature, mock all that we hold dear. For where a Griffon is a noble beast, his wild nature indicative of a fierce and free heart, the Manticore is an unwholesome fiend of vile appetites. Griffons only hunt to feed or provide for their young. Manticores hunt whenever the whimsy strikes. While Griffons typically cull only the weak or old, Manticores will inevitably prey on the young and innocent. Kill them mercilessly if ever you have the opportunity, or they shall certainly kill you.
