Manticore
A wild Manticore stood eye to eye with Orion who stood in both fascination and horror from the creature. It was a real beast, not some imaginary monster as Orion came to terms with this fact completely.
The beast was not very large, about the size of a short elephant. Its head was of a lion and its body was of a tiger with instead of a normal tail, it was sporting a poisonous and sharp tail there. Its sharp fangs and claws were able to tear apart even iron easily.
Orion observed the chains which were restraining this beast from pouncing on him and ending him quickly. Several bones at its feet were indicative that he loves to eat its prey's brain. It was keenly watching the movements of Orion since he entered its enclosure.
Orion licked his lips with nervousness as at the exact moment chains binding the beast break open by themselves setting it free. But instead of pouncing quickly upon him, it began to circle around waiting for Orion to make a move.
