Manticore It was believed that the manticore lives in the forests of Asia, mainly in India, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Cambridge Bestiary classifies the manticore as an Indian animal. This creature was considered more dangerous than any other inhabitants of the jungle. His lair was often located in a cave or underground hole. The manticore had the body of a lion and a head resembling that of a human, except for three rows of sharp teeth. Some individuals of this species also had small brown wings, similar to those of a bat, although there is no mention of the manticore's ability to fly anywhere. However, she had a long Serpent Scale. The TAIL, covered at the end, had venomous stingers that the creature could hurl. The locals believed that these stings became poisonous thanks to the juice of the anchar tree.
