According to medieval descriptions, a manticore.  The namesake of the lightsaber I just got.  The very best saber in the universe.

Manticore...Great choice on a saber.  Did you get the standard or the CE model?

I got the standard one.  I like the black on the hilt.

Flamberge:  "Flame Sword"   A sword with a wavy (Kris) blade found used on two handed swords and rapiers.  Name sake of the Saber I just ordered.

That's one serious sword.

Congrats on the saber. Smiley

If memory serves, a manticore is a mythical Arabic chimera with the body of a lion, the face of a man, and the tail of a scorpion. Some depictions give it wings of either a bat(dragon) or an eagle. And they are highly venomous at both ends.

This one has no wings - a part I didn't read of - but it does have ram's horns. Smiley

IDK.  I was bragging about my saber.  It was months ago.

I had no reference, or FAQ section to consult for guidance. Wink
