The Manticore: A Creature of Beauty and Terror
Beware the Manticore, they say,
A creature of myth and dismay.
With the body of a lion, tail of a scorpion,
And wings of a bat, it brings destruction.
Its roar is thunder, its gaze is fierce,
Its poison-tipped tail can make you pierce.
The Manticore hunts in the dead of night,
Slaying all who dare cross its sight.
Legends say the Manticore was born,
In a time when magic and darkness were sworn.
A creation of sorcery and might,
A beast that terrifies, in flight.
Some say it's the devil's own spawn,
Others say it's nature's wrath gone wrong.
But whatever its origin, one thing is clear,
The Manticore is a creature to fear.
Yet, amidst the terror and the dread,
There's a beauty to its form, it's said.
Its wings, so delicate and light,
Its body, a symbol of strength and might.
And though the Manticore is feared,
Some see in it a creature revered.
A symbol of the balance of light and dark,
A being of magic, a creature of spark.
So, beware the Manticore, if you must,
But do not forget its power and trust.
For in this creature of myth and lore,
Lies a tale of beauty, magic, and more.
