What is the origin of the manticore?
The manticore was originally from India but it was brought to the King of Persia as a gift and Ctesias the Cnidian (no that's not a typo that's his actual name) was the one who spread the story the Greek. The word manticore is actually just a mispronunciation of the old Persian name Martikhoras The Above is very wrong!!! A manticore has the head of as person the body of a lion and the tail of a dragon or scorpion that can actually can shot, and there's also have poison spines.
What is the statue that is half man half lion?
a manticore is half man-half lion The Sphinx.
What is a half man half goat creature called?
Here are several: Centaur: half-man half-horse. Minotaur: from Greek mythology. Part man, part bull. Harpie: part woman, part bird. Merman/Mermaid: part human, part fish. Werewolves (werecreatures in general): people that transform into wolves or other animals. Nagas:(Indian) part man, part snake. Lamia: part woman, part goat. Satyr: part man, part goat. In the Bible: Part-human creatures are mentioned in dreams/visions in Daniel 7v4 and Revelation 4v7. A creature that is part one thing and part something else is pretty much the dictionary definition of a MONSTER. Monsters are either: 1. part man and part beast (such as centaurs, minotaurs and the like) 2. part one beast and part other beast (such as dragons, chimerae, etc.)
What do the Greek mythology creatures look like?
"Common" Greek mythology monsters would be for an example the Minotaur, Medusa, Chimeras, Hydra, Charybdis and Scylla, Harpies, Cyklops and two-headed snakes. Examples of creatures that are certainly not natural, but mayhaps not monsters either, are Pegasus, Centaurs, Satyrs, Nymphs and Mermaids.
