Trying to write something, cant find jack shit about this online.
>>96560196Shooting it would probably do the trick.
>>96560197No guns. It's a typical high-fantasy slop setting.
>>96560196Come up with one.
They are supposedly inspired by real life tigers. Those apparently prefer to attack unsuspecting preys and attachig a mask to the back of your head makes them hesitate to ambush you fom behind. I think you could work from this.
>>96560259its a lion cuck
>>96560208Shoot a bow.
>>96560196It's immune to its own poison, but only as long as it doesn't drink wine. If it does, its blood becomes toxic and it weakens and dies.
>>96560196It has a giant stinger, if you could trick it into stabbing its own head that would probably do it, even if its immune to its own poisons
>>96560196catnip
>>96560196Are you writing a game?
>>96560312This one is fun.
>>96560196Do you want a weakness like>A trick that can be used to defeat it without fighting, bypassing it as a foe or threat entirely>A weakness that is the only reasonable way to injure it, making fighting it without the weakness suicide>A weakness that is a way to hurt it badly (but it's still vulnerable to regular extreme violence)?For the first, the "make it drink wine" thing someone suggested ITT is neat. It's a venomous creature with a human face, so it can succumb to human passions and its own bestial venom. Being overcome by its own opposed natures is poetic.For the second, the only place it can be cut is on the belly, and the only things that can cut it are the talons or horns of [insert rare beast with large talons or horns here]. Something like a wyvern's talons. Manticores live far from wyverns because they are natural enemies and fight to the death if they meet. Landing the blow will be difficult, and many find that they are stung fatally in the process of cutting it, joining the beast in death.For the third, as a creature of spite and poison and thorns, it hates the true comfort of faith. Any religious litany chanted in its presence will make all weapons one degree stronger against it (increase die size or inflict an extra wound or whatever), but it will either shrink away and cower from this effect or attempt to savagely maul the praying person(s), so taking advantage of this is difficult.
>>96560196The traits of any fantasy creature are whatever the fuck you want them to be, because it's fantasy.
>>96560208High fantasy can still have guns.
>>96560196>cant find jack shit about this online.Fucking lying sack of shit.
>>96560196Stabbing it repeteadly.
got quiet real quick
>>96560780Weakness to Elephants sounds cool
>>96560780Here we go. Bludgeon it dual-wielding 2 elephants
>>96562651"How many elephants can I stuff in my rucksack?"
>>96560278Lions hunt in groups dipshit. When's the last time you saw manticores depicted as a pride?>>96560583Indeed. Nice fairytale logic, the sorta thing that'd be in a bestiary as some drawn out theology metaphor which might actually be useful monster slaying tips.>>96562737You just need trumpets for sound and dung for scent, maybe ivory-tipped lances if you're going for the kill. That said if it catches on to the ruse it'd probably flip into ashamed frenzy (which is also useful in its own way). Combined with >>96560757 it could be the wisdom and care represented by elephants (yet theoretically achievable by humans) which deters them.
>>96562795I just like the image of the halfling trying to get a fucking elephant on adventures, anon.
>>96562737You can always keep an elephant as a familiar.
>faggot OP can't find something easily searchable on the internet>OP is also a retard incapable of creating what he wants, despite that being one of the major points of fantasy>Anon delivers examples of manticore weaknesses as requested>some retard who may or may not be OP gets hung up on elephants, despite that being only one of the proposed weaknesses
>>96560196It is a man eater, don't be a human and it might ignore you. Other than that the classics work, mantlets, massed pikes and crossbows.
>>96560196Thicc, erotically-minded Latinas.
>>96560196Low self-esteem
>>96560196Her.You know the one. The one you think about calling sometimes? The one that got away?Her.
>>96560208Anything setting with plate armor should have guns. The two are contemporary technologies.
>>96560196Wasn't it killed when some dude stabbed it?
>>96560823Was about to post this.
>>96560196that's not a manticore, manitcores have wings, that's a landicore
>>96560196Manticores are intelligent, but fairly dumb. They can be tricked, if you can overcome their natural violent aggression.
