A typical manticore is about 10 feet long and weighs about 1,000 pounds. Manticores speak Common.

===Combat===

A manticore begins most attacks with a volley of spikes, then closes. In the outdoors, it often uses its powerful wings to stay aloft during battle.

'''Spikes ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' With a snap of its tail, a manticore can loose a volley of six spikes as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] (make an [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]] for each spike). This attack has a range of 180 feet with no range increment. All targets must be within 30 feet of each other. The creature can launch only twenty-four spikes in any 24-hour period.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' *Manticores have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks.
