So we hardly ever get any manticore encounters, why not add some?

Example 1: Just as you were walking along the path, a flying thing tackled you! It can't be Nirah, this thing doesn't have a mane!

Example 2: You spot two cubs tussling in the grass, but they have wings and the tiniest of scorpion tails! Are they Nirah's?

Example 3: You came across a motherly lioness, but she looks somewhat like those manticores.. Her cub is somehow normal. What sorcery is this?!


Just to add a bit of humor, and more uniqueness. Honestly would be fun to have a Manticore questline
