The manticore or mantichore is a Persian legendary creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx that proliferated in western European medieval art as well. It has the head of a human, the body of a lion and a tail of venomous spines similar to porcupine quills, while other depictions have it with the tail of a scorpion.
It was just a Greek misinterpretation of the maneating (Manticore) creature Persian explorers had heard about in India. Today, we call this creature the Tiger.
To answer your question, though it may be a little late - you are thinking of a Chimera which is a stitched together creature with various different parts often with the heads of a goat, lion, dragon and snake for the tail. Manticores are specifically lion/tiger like animals with the heads of humans and ejectable spines running down their tails. Manticore roughly translates to 'Man Eater' and was not originally depicted with wings at all - in fact the winged, scorpion tailed Manticore had never been depicted until Dungeons and Dragons included it within their game.
so basically manticore passive is: 100 stacks of ferocity gets u 1 stack of monstrosity which is a permanent 1% ability and true lifesteal, whenever u get one of these perma stacks, u get 6 seconds of 10+1% per level attack speed that's increased by 1s for every basic u hit, up to 12s most
Having a Manticore opens up the way for more monsters like the Sphinx, the Chimera or Ammit, and that's awesome. Monster characters are always the coolest in Mobas.
the animal that can be a combination of a billion different things is actually called a Chimera! The manticore is specific to the lion body and head, scorpion tail and wings. i think- XD
Just do what Incon does and call him Marty Edit: If Marty is in your game you need anti-heal. he gets 30% ability/auto lifesteal baked into his kit late game. and can sustain through a ton of damage with his 1.
Herc did become a God in lore, Achilles didn't he was just a hero. Guan isn't a God, scylla and charybdis are both monsters in Greek mythology, arachnie is a monster, daji is a fox demon taking the form of the original daji. There's so many non God characters yet a lot of people complain when they add something that's not a god
But that isn’t the argument. All the things you listed above are named singular entities. Manticore or matichoras are a name of a species and not a singular entity there is no manticore king or named manticore in mythology that’s the reason why people are pissed off
Hey Mast! Love your vids man. I'm a mythology nerd and I wanted to say that Heracles his Greek form and Hercules his Roman form attained godhood After fulfilling his 12 labors
I'm right there with you, at over 120 different playable characters, I swear the last 30-40 gods I've never bothered to learn their passive, Im still trying to get the first 60 gods diamond...
@@justkevin7601 no no,I mean for the ferocity,not the monstrosity,should have specified,like how he needs the 100 for the monstrosity stack itd show that counter instead
There is, look above the left side of his health bar later in the game. Theres a little box with the manticores claw telling you how many stacks of ferocity you have.
Honestly I feel like he does more with an ability build with like 1 auto item built in. Blue stone,Transcendence, Jotunns, Brawlers, crusher, and heartseeker.
his passive is simple btw. 100 stacks for it to stack 1 time on the lifesteal which maxes out at 30 stacks. so think of it as 3000 stacks to get his passive fully stacked
manticore, also spelled mantichora, manticora, or mantiger, a legendary animal having the head of a man (often with horns), the body of a lion, and the tail of a dragon or scorpion.
Havent gotten a chance to try him out yet. But just been thinking about it and i wonder if you might try the build of manakins(into hidden blade), soul eater, qins, and heavy exe. Feel like it might be able to slap while making you pretty tonky
30:40 Yea but that doesn’t really work that well anyways. I have played smite for over 6 years but hate tryharding in games. So I play casual over 99% of the time. So my mmr is trash but I carry a lot of my games. Only realized this might be because my mmr is so low right now when I learned this was a thing
So I'm finally buying a pc. It will be my first pc ever but I want a pre build because I'm a console pleb and know nothing. I was thinking of the streaming pro pc from nzxt. Is that a good beginner gaming pc?
You are referring to a chimaera in the beginning at 3:10 they are usually used to refer to a mash up of different species But in Greek mythology they are female monsters that breath fire have a snake tail,a goat body ,and a lion head
So i just took a tally of how many of the characters in Smite are actually gods. Its not perfect, but there are approximately 82 gods, and the rest are creatures like Marty, demigods like Herc, beings that are more humanoid, like Medusa, and not quite gods like Ymir. At 125 thats about 2/3rds that are gods.
Herc is a demigod. Also, little mechanical thing I noticed. If you throw your 1 then fire the 2 the stinger catches up with the acid rain and explodes in flight.
Tanks (mostly solo imo) are tanky this season but it's the most miserable season i've ever played as support. It's just so hard to get *any* farm, alot of games end before I even hit 20. It doesn't matter how good tank items are if you're 3-5 levels and a few thousand gold behind the enemy dps for the entire game.
Really ? I haven't played the new season yet ( because my console literally exploded ) , but even in season 9 as a support i was always one of the last to hit level 20 , which is normal except that i hit it way too after the enemy dps ( i was always around 2 levels behind even in my best games,maybe it's because i'm dogshit but i don't think i was the only one ) . So i'm kinda scared now that i saw this comment because it was already kinda hard as a support before but now it looks like it's even harder ...
A better title for Smite at this point would be SMITE - Battleground of the Gods, Demigods, monsters, folk heroes, and legends.. But that doesn't quite roll off the tongue elegantly
Herakles (Hercules is the Roman version of it) was actually „promoted“ from a demigod to a god after the successful Gigantomachy, the fight between the Olympian gods and the giants. The giants couldn’t be killed by immortals, that’s why Zeus fathered Heracles, basically as the first ever bio weapon. He was the only mortal to ever become immortal and invited to live in the Olymp.
I personally love the god but hate AA builds on him, my favourite builds are definitely ability based builds for him with max cdr, side note following on from bs divine damage, I wish they'd remove global anti heal and just balance individual healing and healers accordingly
That poor Merc was having a bad day. Mr. Cabbagepants, if you're reading this, I hope you feel better and continue to improve at Smite.
What an absolute homie 🤙

3:32 “I’m in the middle of a game, you’re not” that’s a bold assumption to make that I can’t watch mast and not feed in my ranked game

Mast not understanding the passive and saying “just take it off” is so good😂
so basically manticore passive is:
100 stacks of ferocity gets u 1 stack of monstrosity which is a permanent 1% ability and true lifesteal, whenever u get one of these perma stacks, u get 6 seconds of 10+1% per level attack speed that's increased by 1s for every basic u hit, up to 12s most
It's Apollo passive with a time limit instead of a shot counter + Xba passive with lifesteal instead of power.
Having a Manticore opens up the way for more monsters like the Sphinx, the Chimera or Ammit, and that's awesome. Monster characters are always the coolest in Mobas.
Indeed!
Thor is absolutely crazy in casuals rn it feels like everyone has collectively forgotten how to deal with him
How does one deal with him tho?
@@reindert02 beads
22 minutes in and Arthur was level 14.. that's rough
It’s actually crazy because those 3 were all so low level lmao. Only merc and mast were high level at all😂
the animal that can be a combination of a billion different things is actually called a Chimera! The manticore is specific to the lion body and head, scorpion tail and wings. i think- XD
It has the head of a man
Mast bringing up Percy Jackson definitely won some points in my heart
Mast yelling that he sharted mid video wasn't on my 2023 bingo card 1:33
31:15 - 31:19 idk why but i watched this back like 5 times and laugh every time. That poor goober.
Chimera is the word you're looking for manticore looks like a sphinx. And has a venomous tale
There indeed was a manticore in Percy Jackson he was quite dangerous too
A mish mash of creatures is a chimera, Mast. The manticore does typically have set features in mythology
Just do what Incon does and call him Marty
Edit: If Marty is in your game you need anti-heal. he gets 30% ability/auto lifesteal baked into his kit late game. and can sustain through a ton of damage with his 1.
Does it also stack with soul eater?
@@dippycord1678 it should.
Herc did become a God in lore, Achilles didn't he was just a hero. Guan isn't a God, scylla and charybdis are both monsters in Greek mythology, arachnie is a monster, daji is a fox demon taking the form of the original daji. There's so many non God characters yet a lot of people complain when they add something that's not a god
Guan Yu became a deity after his death.
True tho, hope they add non god characters, Jiang Ziya who defeated Daji for an example would be really cool.
But that isn’t the argument. All the things you listed above are named singular entities. Manticore or matichoras are a name of a species and not a singular entity there is no manticore king or named manticore in mythology that’s the reason why people are pissed off
You're thinking of a Chimera I believe. The mix of a bunch of creatures.
The anubis comment at 25:00 😂😂
Hey Mast! Love your vids man.
I'm a mythology nerd and I wanted to say that Heracles his Greek form and Hercules his Roman form attained godhood After fulfilling his 12 labors
I'm right there with you, at over 120 different playable characters, I swear the last 30-40 gods I've never bothered to learn their passive, Im still trying to get the first 60 gods diamond...
1:33 “ I should have sharted” lmao I’m dying
Herc got turned into a god when he died. Achilles and Odysseus are the only heroes that are not bastard of the gods
Agreed. Everyone always assumes Hercales/Hercules is not a god for some reason.
At 1:40 mast said "sharded" but we aren't going to talk about that
there was a manticore in percy jackson. but his name was Dr. Thorn. Head of a human, body of a lion, tail of a dragon or scorpion.
The merc inting in jungle and spamming please.
Sums up casual smite perfectly.
Anubis being mad at Thor being Thor while they're an Anubis is hilarious
Chimera is the Mishmash of animals you were thinking of. Just remember Dragons Dogma
Marti should have a passive counter to show his progress towards the stacks tbh,that way we know when we'll get a new stack
There is, that’s the red bar on his passive. Once your passive pops and ends you gain one stack
@@justkevin7601 no no,I mean for the ferocity,not the monstrosity,should have specified,like how he needs the 100 for the monstrosity stack itd show that counter instead
The red bars helpful but an actual counter would be more useful imo
There is, look above the left side of his health bar later in the game. Theres a little box with the manticores claw telling you how many stacks of ferocity you have.
@@cerberus4529 the green “emerald”/gem above the red bar wait nvm it only shows the time left when the ferocity is up
Honestly I feel like he does more with an ability build with like 1 auto item built in. Blue stone,Transcendence, Jotunns, Brawlers, crusher, and heartseeker.
Funnily enough, Hercules did become a god, he wasn't born a god but he earned his godhood.
Serious question: Would it be better to build soul eater to stack the ability lifesteal with his passive?
Hercules became a God in the end of his myth. He became the God of strength and determination
Everytime you put down that grass patch, I just hear the Knights of Ni from Monty Python saying "Another Shrubbery!"
FYI yes herc and Achilles are demi gods, but some of the best demi gods
Hey mast, the Mish-mash creature where u don't know exactly what animal it is is called "chimera"
his passive is simple btw. 100 stacks for it to stack 1 time on the lifesteal which maxes out at 30 stacks. so think of it as 3000 stacks to get his passive fully stacked
Was just looking for something to watch while I eat, so Thank you mast!
manticore, also spelled mantichora, manticora, or mantiger, a legendary animal having the head of a man (often with horns), the body of a lion, and the tail of a dragon or scorpion.
I feel like the 3rd ability should also temporarily reveal enemies that walk through it. Make it a little more practical.
Does anyone know if mast streams?
Havent gotten a chance to try him out yet. But just been thinking about it and i wonder if you might try the build of manakins(into hidden blade), soul eater, qins, and heavy exe. Feel like it might be able to slap while making you pretty tonky
I tried the hydra crit build and the 1800 to 2k crits were nasty.
Saw a video from inters3ct that aperantly the manticore has a really broken bug, his poison damage on the auto attacks proc item effects.
I don't know if you've done it already but you have to try him full power in mid. He's disgusting
It’s Mastin time boys
Bro played Teemo and Kha'Zix or he is talking about The old Chem drake terrain change
O I was the Thor in this match btw :)
so wait, how long ago did we get surtr? I feel like this guy came out so quick...
Full clear at lvl 4? Good job Hi-Rez!
30:40 Yea but that doesn’t really work that well anyways. I have played smite for over 6 years but hate tryharding in games. So I play casual over 99% of the time. So my mmr is trash but I carry a lot of my games. Only realized this might be because my mmr is so low right now when I learned this was a thing
Manticore plus Manikins?
i see mast, i click, night made
Axe of Animosity is bugged on him, his auto attacks proc every ticks…. yeahhhh
Team difference outside of Mast
wasn't the original april fools manticore just anhur with wings?
So I'm finally buying a pc. It will be my first pc ever but I want a pre build because I'm a console pleb and know nothing. I was thinking of the streaming pro pc from nzxt. Is that a good beginner gaming pc?
Didn't they get rid of animosity?
You are referring to a chimaera in the beginning at 3:10 they are usually used to refer to a mash up of different species
But in Greek mythology they are female monsters that breath fire have a snake tail,a goat body ,and a lion head

Can we just skip to the part where the community just calls him Marty?
My boi with Percy Jackson
Sad day mast isn't a lore nerd
Build ferocity all the way up to get temporary buff and one stack of monstrosity.
It’s not rocket science lol
Love the content mate ! 🇦🇺
Martichoras is actually a balanced release, probably the only balanced release in like years xd
LION EAGLE SCORION MIX
14:25 Mast saying this after a couple days I tried to copy this build and got wiped 😭 too late man
Man teek chorus
Marty 😳
Herc is a demigod. Also, little mechanical thing I noticed. If you throw your 1 then fire the 2 the stinger catches up with the acid rain and explodes in flight.
I thought herc was just a dude who was granted godhood
@@isaaceberly5939 nope. Son of Zeus and a human female.

Btw hero are procs on his autos.
Marty -torus 😂😭
Tbh Trans feels amazing on him
Hirez hates healing so much they just need to get rid of it instead of making antiheal so strong.
There is a neat little tech where you can back to fountain while stealthed in your 3.
Herc = Demigod (Half human half god) Achilles = Demigod as well. Martichoras, not even kind of a god. So hirez just having fun.
Just call him Marty
Herakles (Hercules is the Roman version of it) was actually „promoted“ from a demigod to a god after the successful Gigantomachy, the fight between the Olympian gods and the giants. The giants couldn’t be killed by immortals, that’s why Zeus fathered Heracles, basically as the first ever bio weapon. He was the only mortal to ever become immortal and invited to live in the Olymp.
To give a better explanation as to what mantichore is, it's a god in smite. I hope that clears it up
You can probably just call him Marty
I feel sorry for you, getting matched up with 3 console players must feel so bad
@Mast Day 2 Of Asking For You To Stream On Twitch More Often Cause I Know You Be Gaming ! GIVE US THE LIVE FEED,

Also obligatory Martichoras name pronunciation
It’s pronounced like Mar-tick-oras
OMG LEEEEEEETS FUUUUUUUUCKING GOOOOOOO
This matchmaking is the main reason I don't play smite that often anymore.. and on consoles, especially PS, it's even worse..
Love to see manticore’s!
Ngl this Mardigras guy seems pretty cool
2v5 game I love it
Paid actors. This god gets bodied against actual humans
All the Arthurian gods aren't gods, neither is Mulan or Guan Yu. Really any significant person of legend can be a "god" in smite
Guan Yu became a god after his death, same with Hercules.
