Mythical lion beast in Persian folklore

[[File:Jonston1650 quadruped TabLIII manticore. png|thumb|300px|Manticore or "Martigora". the mantichora of Aethiopia too also mimicked human speech, on authority of Juba II,Refn|group="lower alpha"|In the base MS. Add. 11283, the manticore (fol. 8r) and the other hybrids around it has scholia marked "Solinus Cap. 65, p. 244". or the Greek version in content (paraphrased above). This is naturally the case, since much of Solinus was recopied out of Pliny, and the manticora is described as "bloody colored" hereRefn|group="lower alpha"|name="pliny sanguineo"|Pliny has "eyes light blue, blood colored body like a lion " (neither the broadest space nor the widest barrier can hinder it)".

Actually there are two candidate sources given for the passage, "Solinus 52.37" and "H iii.8"; this "H" being the pseudo Hugh of Saint Victor De bestiis et aliis rebus, edited by Migne, appearing in (nearly) successive chapters of the bestiary. This created the groundwork for the beasts in adjacent chapters being confounded or amalgamated through scribal errors, as described below in the cases of bestiaries produced in France.

The manticore is basically absent from the French bestiary of Pierre de Beauvais, which exist in the short versions of 38 or 39 chapters, and the long version of 71 chapters. Instead, there is a Chapter 44 on the "centicore" (or santicora, var. ceucrocata), which suggests manticore in name, but which is nothing like the standard manticore. while he describes the mantyger as having "the face and ears of a man, the body of a Tyger, and whole footed like Goose or Dragon; yet others make it with feet like a Tyger", etc., and also noting that they may be horned or unhorned. The manticore first appeared in English heraldry in c. 1470, as a badge of William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings; and in the 16th century. The mantyger device was later used as a badge by Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex, and by Sir Anthony Babyngton. The Radford[e]'s device was described as "3 mantygers argent" by one source, c. 1600. The Hindu god Narasimha is often referred to as a Manticore. Narasimha, the man lion, is the fourth avatar of Vishnu and is described as having a man’s torso and the head and claws of a lion.

Dante Alighieri, in his Inferno, depicted the mythical Geryon as a manticore, following Pliny's description.

In some modern depictions, such as in the tabletop role playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and the card game Magic: The Gathering, manticores are depicted as having wings. They are more specifically given "wings of a dragon" in the implementation of D&D′s 5th edition, according to the Monster Manual (2014),Refn|group="lower alpha"|Another embellished feature of this D&D version is that a "bristling mane stretches down [its] back".
