Portraits

Manticores and Scorpicores are level 6 creatures of the Dungeon town. They are recruited from the Manticore Lair.

Manticores and their venomous cousins, the Scorpicores, resemble lions with bat wings and a scorpion tail, with which they stab their opponents. This attack gives Scorpicores a 20% chance of paralyzing their target. Paralyzed targets cannot act in combat for three rounds or until they are attacked, in which case they retaliate at only 25% of their full strength.

Heroes with a specialty

• Synca the Overlord has manticores as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any manticores or scorpicores for each level attained after 6th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
