The first thing that will strike you about the manticore is its noxious smell.  Looking much like a snow-white lion, if such a thing could naturally exist, it appears somewhat like an unkempt lion, but after you wipe away the tears brought to your eyes by its vile stench, you will see that its head is more like that of a man, and it has a long segmented tail like that of a scorpion.

Other information

Their attacks can flare cold damage.

 An arctic manticore claws at you!
   AS: +194 vs DS: +224 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +97 = +102
    ... and hits for 1 point of damage!
    Tap to the arm pricks some interest but not much else.
 
 The manticore's attack chills you!
    ... 30 points of damage!
    Boiling water would feel better than this!
    You are stunned for 5 rounds!
