What happens if an Advanced or Boreal Manticore breeds with lion like creatures?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So if a Manticore mates with a Lion, it makes a Manticore. Dire Lion= Advanced Manticore. Lamia, Sphinx, and Chimera= that creature with the Manticore’s Spiked Tail and Spikes special attack.

But what happens if instead of a Manticore parent, we have an Advanced Manticore, which we know exist because it is called out as the offspring with a Dire Lion, or a Boreal Manticore, which we also know exist because they are one of the template’s example creatures?

For Advanced Manticore, I could see it having no change, but for Boreal, does it pass on the cold damage upgrade to the Spikes special attack?


Are you the GM and do you want it to? If yes and yes, then yes.


The advanced manticore being mentioned as the offspring of a dire lion and a normal manticore is highly unusual. Most conceivable genetic combinations just aren't mentioned in D&D or PF, and the ones you're asking about are among the many that aren't mentioned.
