'''Feral Manticore''' is a {{Dark Elves race}} monster unit introduced in ''[[Total War: Warhammer II]]''.

== Recruitment ==
*{{Dark Elves race}}
**[[File:construction.png]] Unlocked with: [[Beastmaster's Stables]] or [[Monster Holds]]
*{{The Thousand Maws faction}}
**[[File:construction.png]] Unlocked with: [[Beastmaster's Stables]] or [[Monster Holds]]
**[[File:rakarth.png]] Recruited with: [[Monster Pens]]

== Summon ==
*[[File:wh_dlc03_spell_beasts_transformation_of_kadon.png|38px]] [[Transformation of Kadon]]

== Description ==
Dark Elves hold no creature in higher esteem than the Manticore, for they believe it to be one of the thousand incarnations of Khaine; daring Beastmasters venture as far north as the Chaos Wastes in search of young Manticores to sell at auction. Manticores can be tamed enough to take a rider, though they remain feral. Even if a steed occasionally ignores its rider's commands and pitches them into unfavourable fights, a Dark Elf considers this a minor risk compared to the fear and respect brought about by bringing a fearsome mount to the fray.

== Attributes ==

== Unit Abilities ==
=== Passive Abilities ===
*[[File:rampage.png]] [[Feral Rage I]]
*[[File:rampage.png]] [[Feral Rage II]]
*[[File:wh3_main_unit_passive_single_entity.png]] [[Wounds]]

== Strategy ==
The Manticore is fairly unique in that it is a winged, [[Terror]]-causing SEM which is also cheap and easy to recruit. To counterweigh this, they are pretty weak all round - most anti-large SEMs will make short work of them - and have the awful [[Rampage!]] passive which will remove them from your control if they take too much damage. Nonetheless, just having them on the field will cause problems for the enemy, whether it's terror-routing infantry and ranged units, taking out artillery or simply drawing attention away from your more fragile troops. For this reason they're a good pick to simply fill out an army in a pinch, providing great distractions if nothing else. Again, unlike most other units in this category, their cheap and quick recruitment means it's no great loss if they die.

For [[Rakarth]], they can make for a devastating stack option with his Apex predator perk.
