Manticore (Quill Tail)
Creature 6 — beast
A manticore is a monstrous amalgamation of lion, dragon, and human with a penchant for feasting on human flesh. Its distinctive tail is festooned with large quills like those of a porcupine, which the manticore flings at prey by whipping its tail like a sling. These deadly spikes give the manticore the power to slaughter even well-armed warriors from the safety of the sky. Although the anthropomorphic face of the manticore suggests a keen intellect, most creatures of its kind are single-minded

Abilities
Spike Volley — The manticore flings up to two spikes from its tail, targeting either two different creatures or a single creature. If the manticore targets two different creatures, these creatures must be within 20 feet of one another, and the manticore makes a separate Strike against each; this counts as only one Strike for the manticore's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after both attacks.
If the manticore flings both spikes at the same creature, it makes a single Strike. If the attack hits, it deals the damage of a single spike, but the target is pinned in place, rendering it Immobilized. A creature can get free if it Forces Open the spike or Escapes; either option is DC 23.
A manticore can hurl no more than 12 spikes in 24 hours.
