History
The Manticore is a Creature of the Old Religon, and a native of the Spirit world, to travel to physical world, it can be summon through, a portal in a magical box, its unknown if can travel through, withough being summoned.

The Manticore was first sighted almost a thousand years ago, it was described as one of the fearsom of all beasts, the ancients lived in fear of it, trembled at its very name, however by the time of the series, it seems to have turned into a myth, as it is belived they do not exist.

Alice, managed to summon one Manticore, hoping to use its power for good, however its power turned out to be to great for her to handle, and it forced her to enter a plot to kill Uther (sergesting previous clashes between the spieces and the king),

After using its posion, the plan was put in place, however, the Manticore was destroyed, after Melin summoned it into the real word, and Giaus destroyed its box, thus saving the king.

Abilities
Despite its small size the Manticore, is shown to be a very fearsome and dangerous creature, its venom is to deadly for any cure (save possibly the power of life and death, however this is never tried, and its likely the person would already be dead, by the time they tried that.) It is strong enough, to kill a person in less than a day.

The only way to save someone from its Posion is to kill the Manticore the posion came from, however as the Manticore is a creature of the Old Religon, and draws its power directly from that source, it can not directly be killed.

However it can not last long out side the spirit world, and if its link between this world and its is destroyed, the creature is also destroyed, however it takes strong magic to destroy its link.

The Manticore also posses great magical powers, it can control another being, and force them to do things against there will. It is also shown to be quite strong, desite its small size, and can attack with its claws teeth and tail.
