Description: The Manticore (Persian for Man eater) is a mythical beast from Persian and Greek mythology. The typical manticore is a vicious predator with the body of a lion, the head of a man, and the tail of a scorpion or dragon. Later modern depictions sometimes now add dragon wings. The myth likely comes from Persian descriptions of Tigers in the Caspian and/or India. In medieval western tradition they came to be associated with the devil, and along with the Greeks they often recorded them as real animals.
