Manticore
Manticore AI images.
The manticore is a legendary mythological creature with fascinating origins in Persian and Indian mythology. This hybrid beast is characterized by its unique composite form: the head of a human (or a lion), the body of a lion, and a scorpion-like tail capable of shooting poisonous barbs.
The creature’s name derives from Persian words meaning “man-eater,” reflecting its most notorious characteristic.
First documented by Ctesias of Cnidus, a Greek historian and physician in the 5th century BC, the manticore was believed to be a gift to the King of Persia.
