The SendingStone review

The Manticore is a creature in Dungeons & Dragons with a Challenge Rating of 3. With a natural armor class of 14, the Manticore is capable of dealing significant damage with its ranged attacks. However, its low charisma and intelligence scores make it vulnerable to persuasion and deception. It is a lawful evil creature with a high constitution and dexterity, making it a formidable opponent in battle. While it may not have a diverse language repertoire, it does understand common language and has a passive perception of 11. Overall, the Manticore is a threat to be reckoned with, but it has its weaknesses that can be exploited.
