'''Manticore''' is a monster found in the fifth [[Hero and Monster Collection]] set, [[Visions of Dawn]]. It was first introduced in the [[Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition Conversion Kit|Second Edition Conversion Kit]].<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
A manticore can hurl a magical volley of spikes from its tail, attacking twice in the blink of an eye. The greatest of their kind possess envenomed spikes that can poison the body of even the mightiest hero.<br />
<br />
Resembling a hideous amalgamation of unnatural features, the manticore is the unmistakable magical corruption of some base creature. This beast’s most dangerous weapon is neither its rows of fangs, nor its razor-edged claws, but its arched tail. The spikes fired from a manticore’s tail can pierce armor of the finest quality, and the most fearsome manticores imbue their spikes with deadly venom. Recently, these terrifying creatures have been sighted fighting alongside ogres and trolls, making them a deadly threat to the heroes’ latest quest.<br />
