The Manticore is a mythical beast said to posses the head of man, body of a lion and tail of a scorpion. Originally of Persian origin, the manticore is still rumored to stalk the jungles of central Asia. Some Christian apologetics have linked the manticore to various fossils usually interpreted as dinosaurs, with the loss of soft tissues decreasing overt semblance to it's original form [1]
The Manticore is also found in many modern works of fiction, ranging from enemy monsters in roleplaying games, to comic book monsters.
The Manticore is also the title of a novel by noted Canadian author Robertson Davies (1913-1995), the second novel in his "Deptford Trilogy."
