Manticore

Overview

The Manticore is a boss-class flyer and carnivore. It unleashes devastating ranged poison attacks from the air, including the long-range QuillAttack. It can airlift smaller mounts such as Ankylosaurus or Castoroides in its claws for fast deployment.

The Manticore is used in high-level combat and boss fights due to its high damage output and aerial dominance.

Combat notes

The Manticore has a +400% weakness to spike walls, making them extremely effective. It also takes +120% damage from instant-damage sources. Conversely, it has strong resistances to mining drills and Tek pistols, reducing damage by 100% and 82% respectively. Melee attacks with impact effects and small turrets are half as effective.

Can break Stone, Thatch, and Wood. Build at least in Metal.

Tips

The QuillAttack has a 40-meter range and a 5-second cooldown, useful for kiting. PoisonBall_Air_Vs_Air deals 8 damage with a 4-second cooldown, effective against other flyers. It takes 400% more damage from spike walls, ideal for defensive setups. The Manticore can carry an Ankylosaurus in its claws during combat for mobile support.

This page details the Manticore's stats, taming, breeding, harvest specs, and combat data. Use the taming calculator, breeding calculator, and spawn map for further planning.
