Manticore — Detailed Guide
The Manticore is the boss of Scorched Earth, a flying chimera that attacks from the air, fires torpor-heavy spines from its tail and calls in minions as the fight goes on. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. Beating it unlocks Tek engrams and pays out 
Element.
Where to find it
In ASE it is fought on Scorched Earth, Ragnarok and Valguero. In ASA its fight is on Scorched Earth and Astraeos.
How to get one
It is summoned, not tamed. Bring Fire, Lightning and 
Poison Talons plus the Artifacts of the Gatekeeper, the Crag and the Destroyer to an obelisk or supply crate. There are Gamma, Beta and Alpha tiers with rising tribute and level requirements.
Uses
Each kill gives Element, a 
Manticore Flag, a tier trophy and Tek engram unlocks.
Tips
It summons 
Deathworms as its health drops (
Griffins on Ragnarok) and 
Rock Elementals near the end. Its spines build up torpor, so bring tames with good health and finish it quickly. Flying tames or shoulder pets in the Scorched Earth arena keep it from landing.
