A juvenile Mantikora

Mantikoras are four-legged beasts with two arms and the tail of a scorpion. They can be found in parts of Upper Craglorn. The creatures were created by the Scaled Court using nirncrux and alchemy.

Mantikoras were artificially created by the Scaled Court alchemist Regent Boward in Serpent's Nest. They combine the traits of numerous predators, the primary ones being scorpions and a specially bred wamasu. Additionally, captives from various races and nirncrux pools were also utilized. Mantikoras are large, powerful, and exceptionally intelligent, and that makes them extremely dangerous. Hruzizolk, the Progenitor Mantikora, is capable of creating other young mantikoras on her own.

Mantikoras can be found at Skyreach Hold, in the Serpent's Nest, and during the fight against the Serpent in Sanctum Ophidia.

Charged Up Attack

The mantikora readies its spear to deal a heavy attack, dealing moderate physical damage and knocking its target away. This can be blocked to set the mantikora off-balance.

Enrage

Once reaching 50% of its health, the mantikora becomes enraged, indicated by a red glow around its body, which greatly increases the damage of the above attacks.

Rear Up/Ground Pound

The mantikora rears its forelimbs and brings them down to cause a heavy ground pound, indicated by a red circle around itself, dealing high physical damage and stunning all affected targets. Blocking changes the stun into a stagger.
