Manticore

A manticore is a mythical creature that originated from Persian legends and was later adopted by European medieval art.
It is usually depicted as having the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion.
It is said to be very fierce and powerful, able to shoot venomous spikes from its tail and devour humans and animals alike.

In the dark and wild jungle
There lurks a fearsome beast
With a human face and lion's grace
And a scorpion's tail unleashed

It hunts for prey with keen eyes
And flies on leathery wings
It strikes with speed and deadly force
And no mercy does it bring

It shoots its spikes like arrows
And poisons all it hits
It tears apart with claws and teeth
And leaves no trace of it

It craves for human flesh the most
And lies in wait for men
It lures them in with cunning words
And then devours them

It is the mighty manticore
The man-eater of lore
A creature of chaos and terror
That none can ever ignore.

A manticore is a beast of legend
With a human face and a lion's chest
It has a scorpion tail that can shoot spikes
And wings that let it soar in the sky

Some say it came from ancient Persia
Where it was called the man-eater
Others say it was born from Chaos
And lives in the mountains of the north

No matter where it came from or where it dwells
One thing is certain, it's a fearsome creature
It can devour any animal except the elephant
And it prefers to hunt humans for its meal

So if you ever encounter a manticore
Don't try to fight it or to run
Just hope that it's not hungry or bored
And maybe you'll live to see the sun.
