Manticore
One of the interesting mythological creatures, that you can come across in different folklores, is the manticore. Manticore is a creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a lion, the head of a human, wings of a bat, and the tail of a scorpion. Its name comes from Persia, where it meant "human-eating" and was created to scares merchants trying to use old Persian trade ways. What's interesting is that on the Pomeranian soil there have been found imaginations of a manticore. The only noticeable difference is the creature being tailless.
