Welcome, i said, to our lesson in Care for Magical Creatures. As always i will start with the grades from last class: Josephine Lycos : 25 points, entertaining story! Hermione Granger: 20 points Professor Snape: 30 points. entertaining! Ashe Mimmeaux: 20 points.
Now this class we will discuss one of the wizarding worlds most dangerous Creatures. I would like u to write down some general info on Manticore´s and then write a paper on how u would react if u where to encounter one! Also i would like to see if u can find out wich creatures the Manticore is related to (partially my fault as i bread them) | |

| Hermione walked in just before professor hagrid closed the door. "Good Day professor" She said tiredly. She sat at her desk, took out her quill and parchment now ready for class. manticores are capable of speech but not clasified a being. they have a human-like head, lions body, and scorpions tail. The Manticore originated in Greece, and is as rare as the Chimaera. The sting of the Manticore is instantly deadly, and it is reputed to croon softly to its victims as it devours them. Manticore venom is instantly fatal. It uses this as a way to kill its prey, which it then devours while crooning softly. A Manticore's skin repels all known charms. If i ever was to encounter with a manticore, i would probably want to fight it until either it was to weak to fight or i was severley injured. I dont think that I'd be very scared since i have encountered with many things wothout being scared. actually i think it would be fun to fight with one of these creatures. i believe that maticores are related to a human, because of its human-like head, a lion, because of its lion-like body, and a sqorpion, because of its scorpian tail with a deadlystinger. Hermione read over her work then turned the paper in. | |

| Nicholas walked into his first care of magical creatures class. ,, Good Day professor,, and sat down near Hermione and prepared for class. Manticore Manticores are found in the mountainous areas of Greece. They have the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. Some have been known to have wings, but it isn't known if that is a normal situation, or an odd attempt by a wizard to create something worse than already existed. As might be surmised, Manticores are exceedingly dangerous, earning a XXXXX (5X) rating from the Ministry of Magic. While Manticores can speak, it is not wise to talk to them. They will use their speaking abilities to lure human prey close enough to eat. They are reputed to croon softly as theyeat. In addition to the powerful body of a lion, the Manticore sting causes instant death. Of greater danger to wizards, Manticore skin repel almost all known charms. This, of course, makes their skin greatly prized.

| Logan entered in class. Just in time where Professor Hagrid said the instructions. He immediately sat beside Nicholas. He put out his quill and parchment and started to write. ++++++++++ A Manticore...
What is a Manticore?
Well A manticore is a sentient creature, capable of intelligent speech but not classified as a being due to its violent tendencies, a manticore has a human-like head, a lion's body, and the tail of a scorpion. The tail secretes a venom that is instantly fatal to a victim of its sting. A manticore's skin repels virtually all known charms, so it is extremely difficult to subdue by magic.
Manticores are originated in Greece. Although this is never stated, it seems possible that like the acromantula, manticores may have originated as a wizard-bred species specifically created to guard treasures, strongholds, and the like, and thus serving as an example of why the Ban on Experimental Breeding is so important.
How would you react if you encountered a manticore?
If I would encounter a manticore, I will battle him/her/it to death. I'm a wizard even though I don't have a wand to use, I can still use potions and such, that's what a wizard/witch should do. Also its a pleasure to battle with one of the most dangerous creatures of the wizarding world.
Which creature does the Manticore related?
Actually that a really good question but still you'll already know what creature it is. Manticores are related to Humans for they have a human like head and can also speak like humans where they lure human prey. A lion for they have a lion's body. A scorpion for they have the tail of the scorpion.
- Spoiler:
++++++++++ " Well, that's it." Logan said as he stood up and passed his work. | |

| The manticore is a legendary creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth (like a shark), and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot poisonous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. The creature's feet may also be of a dragon, but are mostly referred to as lions paws. In the middle ages, the manticore was the emblem for the prophet Jeremia because the manticore lives in the depths of the earth and Jeremiah had been thrown into a dung pit. At the same time, the manticore became the symbol of tyranny, disparagement and envy, and ultimately the embodiment of evil. As late as the 1930s it was still considered by the peasants of Spain, to be a beast of ill omen. The earliest accounts seem to be from Persian legend. The name itself is from the Old Persian martikhoras meaning 'man-eater'. The earliest accounts of the existence of the manticore come from the Persian courts in the fifth century B.C., documented by Ctesias, a Greek physician at the Persian court. Greek and Roman authors (Aristotle, Pliny) described the beast the same way the Persians had.
How I would react?Seeing a Manticore, is not my bit of coffee, but still, My reaction would never be to pet it, but instead take out my wand and be ready to defend myself on any attack, if it seems alright, I would capture it and give it to the Ministry of Magic or Professor Hagrid, if he ever wants one, i am sure it would be one of his antique collection! | |
