For my friend who recently started watching Critical Role and wanted a character/player guide!
The first episode is available here, but for anyone who finds the beginning a little slow you can skip right here to an exciting bit in that episode in order to give yourself a proper taste.
ok but, this isnt a mermaid kinda deal, where you can just flip two bits and be done with it. a manticore has PARTS
theres a lot of other interpretations of em out there, but for simplicity lets say theres four defining Big Features to work with that i can swap around
first up, the back bit (scorpion tail) and front bit (human face) are switched, giving us a scorpion face. if we were being really accurate the scorpions entire head actually consists of a lot more legs, but were not, so it doesnt
then instead of a lion body, its a bat body, swapping with the wings and giving us, incredibly, another fucking pair of bat wings
this would be the bit where the human tail goes in but guess what
and then I GUESS instead of bat wings, the reverse scorpion would have LION WINGS !! but theres no such thing so we gotta go with the closest equivalent, which is just a big ol goddamn pair of lion arms
Mercy from overwatch. my fav fem hero from the game :) good practice on something more sci-fi.
