And so you followed the voice of the woman..into a light blue rift that sucked you in..

Waking within a small desert oasis, laying upon the warm sand as water tickles your face. The elderly woman crouched down near you offering you some water from a clay bowl. Her hands rough and weathered from hardwork, her face wrinkled but not unkind. Most notably her eyes were blind, yet many hues, so many it made you dizzy just looking her in those eyes so you turn away. Her hair was neatly braided into two parts and her gown was a rough spun robe of many colors with intricate patterns on the hem. She carried with her a shepherds staff which was laying near her on the sand. Speaking to you she said "I've never once in my life imagined I'd come across another out here, especially this far away from civilization..tell me child after you have a drink of water, where did you come from?"

How shall you reply?

About Manticore Eggs

This egg was given out for Creature Release Week in January of 2015.

Manticore eggs are notoriously hard to come by. The only place they can be found is deep in Ark's jungles. The nests are also guarded by the Manticore parents, who react violently to anyone trying to steal their eggs. However it is possible to have the parents gift you an egg. This requires winning some sort of contest against one of the parents. It is best to propose the contest yourself otherwise you my find yourself in a contest that only a Manticore can win.

About the Manticore Creature

In many of Ark's legends and ancient tales Manticores are an adversary to the ancient heroes and are portrayed in a negative light. The negative light cast upon Manticores continues to present day. However, Manticores are actually very misunderstood creatures. Manticore society is based around challenges and relatively friendly brawls. So it is little wonder that the species was deemed violent when the first people to meet Manticores were challenged to a fight, unknowing that it was meant to be friendly gesture.
