^^ In the pole: "Not Really, They aren't creatures I like."

I have an idea for a new beast. Originally I was tring to think of a beast worth adding that was multi-headed as it would have some unique characteristics that most other beasts don't have. I couldn't decide on any multiheaded beasts as the onlt ones that came to mind were Cerberus and Hydra, which are escentially dogs (too similar to Lykos) or giant lizards (too similar to Dragons) though I would be intersted in expanding on any of those ideas if discussed/asked. The next idea for a creature that I settled on was a Manticore. 

Looks:

*I am not the most-skilled artist, so I will describe what I had in mind and pictures may follow later. Feel free to post an image idea if you want :)

I imagine the BeastKeeper style of Manticore would be less traditional and more modern looking. I imagine the face of a man to be less dominant, and not actually a human face, but more like an ape-lion blended face, with the curled goat-like horns presented in most modern inerpretations.  The Manticore is supposed to have 3 rows of teeth, however for BeastKeeper I would imagine just showing some canine teeth that protrude from the mouth. I imagine the body of the lion is very, lion-y, with a lion mane on males if possible. And lastly, the pet would have the classic scorpion tale and stinger. I don't imagine it with wings, as many pets on this site already have wings and only some representations of Manticore have wings.

I imagine Beast Keeper styled pet that is a combination of these images I wound online (of course not replicates of these though):

Pride: Some kind of bonus for a squad of Manticore.

Availability: 

I think they shouldn't really be a rare pet, perhaps simply available by capturing them on the Wild Pet page. 

So, Those are my ideas, any input is greatly appriciated!

bump?

Very interesting. But maybe it should be a special pet, as it sounds like a well bred one would be extremely powerful.... Hmmmm.

...If this becomes a thing...perhaps as a halloween themed encounter for certain hunters when you look for a wild pet? 

Interesting idea.  Bringing up this thread to see if anyone agrees with it.
