Added by AusirManticore is a giant beast with the body of a lion, bat wings and scorpion tail. As a young witcher, Geralt fought a manticore. He also killed one during the Nilfgaard War, near the town of Dorian.
They are said to somehow use the poison of the Bohun Upas.
| I looked for the words "Witcher urgently needed". And then there'd be a sacred site, a dungeon, necropolis or ruins, forest ravine or grotto hidden in the mountains, full of bones and stinking carcasses. Some creatures which lived to kill, out of hunger, for pleasure, or invoked by some sick will. A manticore, wyvern, fogler, aeschna, ilyocoris, chimera, leshy, vampire, ghoul, graveir, were-wolf, giant scorpion, striga, black annis, kikimora, vypper... so many I've killed.
