Mini Manticores

Adding Miniscule Manticores to your Ark.



The Mini Manticore requires a saddle to ride, when taming one it will have a saddle already in its Inventory. Better quality saddles can be obtained by killing wild Mini Manticores.

Manticores can be tamed on raw meat or Prime, but their preferred food is Lion Bars.

To craft Lion Bars you need to learn the Engram (at 0 EP cost and available at lvl 25) They can be crafted in your inventory.

Lion Bars require Raw Prime Meat, Argent Claws, Rex Arms, Megalania Toxin, Titanoboa Venom, Thylacoleo Hook Claws, and Sarco Skin.

Manticores can gather Saberteeth from the corpses of Sabers which can be used in place of Rhino Horns, Venom Glands from Scorpions and Spiders which are a mild Narcotic, and Acid Glands from Arthropleura which can be used in place of Leech Blood.

Manticores also drop Manticore Tails when killed which is a potent Narcotic (giving 100 torpor)


The Mini Manticore can of course walk and fly, and has a variety of attacks

Left Click - Bite and Claw attacks, rapid attacks with a fair damage (50 base). Short range.

Right Click - Sting attack, will stop movement when walking and slow you when flying. High Damage (70 base) and large torpor (uses the Sea Scorpion damage) Medium Range. Has a 3 second cooldown.

C Key - Posion Ball attack, very low damage and very high torpor (1 Damage and 150 Torpor base), large range. 7 Second Cooldown. Note, this is an AoE attack and not a ranged attack.

Left Ctrl Key - Pick Up, can pick up dinos up to a drag weight of 200. The Manticore can grab Flying dinos and the carry weight is now customizable via Ini.


The Mini Manticore has 8 spawnzones across the map, and will spawn on any map, exact locations can and will vary due to the size of each spawn zone (each takes up1/8th of the map) Each zone spawns 1 manticore at a time making 8 per map. This is adjustable through Ini.


Some things to note about the Mini Manticore; It can carry dinos when flying or running, and can grab flyers. If landing when flying it will be dropped though. Nothing I can do to fix that unfortunately. The Manticore is a great fridge for Prime Meat (fish and regular) and Mutton with a 6x spoil timer and a 4x spoil timer on Organic Polymer (those timers however may be subject to change) The Manticore being a poisonous creature itself has a high torpor, and a rapid rate of torpor drop, be prepared with plenty of Narcs for your tame. To counter balance that it eats quickly and Lion Bars provide a high affinity so it should be a fairly quick tame.


Ini Customization options now available. See here for more info. GUS Ini Settings


Manticores now have colour regions and will have colour variations. See pics for the regions. Note that currently the mane colour cannot be changed. I hope that I picked some nice colours, and let me know if you come across any cool looking Manticores :D


So it's been a while since I made Mini Manticores, it was my first real delve into making a dino mod of any type, and was a really good learning tool for what needs to be done in terms of animations, attacks, IK, and using the Dev Kit coding systems. Making the Mini Manticore taught me a lot and I'm proud of it and believe that it still holds up perfectly fine, and a lot of what I learnt has now been passed on to help me with my more recent mods such as Better Dinos. However I look back at it and think there's a lot that could be done better in terms of the back end of the mod, knowing what I now know, and using some of the features now added to the kit. There are changes that I'd like to make, but they would adversely effect those of you who are already using and enjoying this mod. Therefore I'm going to draw a line under it and say that this mod will no longer be supported. Whilst I won't remove it I will no longer be updating it in any way shape or form. I am however going to create another mod that will have miniature versions of all the boss creatures (except Rockwell) as well as mini versions of some larger creatures like mini wyverns, squids, mosas etc. It's going to be some time coming as I have a bit of a stable of mods going on now, and more in the pipeline, but that is the direction I'm going to go. Thank you all for your support on this and all of my mods, I hope you've enjoyed it now and in the future, and I hope that you'll support Little Big Dinos in the same way.
