While the manticore was growing up in Babylonia, in Eastern Asia a merchant from the Shang Dynasty needed to head northeast, he went to Manchuria, little did he know, it would be the last place he ever went. He went to a cave to spend the night, nomads from the steppe would occasionally show up, if he could trade with them, he might make enough money.

But in the cave he heard something mortifying, he heard tearing and ripping. He looked and he saw a horrifying creature. It immediately devoured him, no one knows what the creature was, the nomads found his body days later, they saw the creature, but it had driven them mad with fear. To this day, some say it was a dinosaur, some say it was a ghost, but one thing everyone agrees on is the creature stalks Asia looking for prey, as nothing more than a shadow

I’m posting this myth in glow bug, I’ll give rights to creatures and places to those who I see fit, just ask, I’ll give this one to lava because I wanna see how he interprets the monster that I never described
