Manticores (RWBY)

Manticores are large manticore-like Creatures of Grimm from the American web cartoon series RWBY.

Appearance
Manticores are massive Grimm resembling black lions. They have white bone-like spikes and spines covering their bodies, including a series of protruding spikes forming a "mane" around their heads. They also possess large pairs of bird-like wings covered in black feathers. They have scorpion-like tails, which end in a white bone-like venomous stinger.

Volume 6
In the episode "Argus Limited", the newly reformed Team RWBY, along with Qrow Branwen, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren board the Argus Limited train through Anima to Atlas in order to deliver the Relic of Knowledge there and search for the next one. However, during their trip, the train is suddenly attacked by a swarm of Manticores and a Chimera Grimm.

Two Huntsmen, Dee and Dudley, go on top of the train to fight off the threat, but Dee is quickly killed by a charging Manticore. Qrow and Team RWBY step in to help, holding off the Manticore swarm while Dudley rushes to activate the train's turret defenses. These hold off the Manticore swarm until the Chimera Grimm signals for them to take the turrets out, simultaneously bringing them over to the inhabited section of the train.
