Gameplay

Manticores have a ranged attack and have an attack bonus against myth units. They attack over range by firing many spikes with limited accuracy, and are effective support units. They shouldn't be in the thick of combat. Instead they should stay on the sidelines and just continually deal damage so stronger units can kill enemy units.

Mythology

"◆ Scientific Name -- Epibouleos Occisor
 ◆ Size -- 1600 lbs.
 ◆ Diet --Carnivore, largely humans
The Manticore probably came into Greek mythology from Persia and originated in tales about far away and exotic India. The beast had the body of a red lion, a human face (with blue eyes and human ears), three rows of teeth, a stinging poisonous tail, and poisonous spines that could be shot like arrows in any direction. Its voice was like a mixture of pipes and trumpets. It was fast and capable of great leaps. When villagers vanished without a trace, it was believed they were devoured by a manticore."

Trivia

  • The Colossus, as referenced by its specific technologies, is based on Talos, a giant, bronze Automaton who patrolled the island of Crete.
  • The Colossus is named after one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant bronze-plated statue of the sun god Helios.
  • The Colossus originally had the second highest number of hit points of any myth unit that can be trained at a Temple. As of Tale of the Dragon, it only has the third-highest hit points.
  • During development, the Colossus did not exist, and its role was instead filled by the Golem.
