'''The Manticore''' is an [[Rarity#Exotic|Exotic]] [[Submachine Gun]] that was introduced in ''[[Season of the Seraph]]'', previously obtained by reaching rank 30 in the season pass or from the Annual Pass Bundle at rank 1. It is currently available at the [[Monument to Lost Lights]]. 

==Perks==
*'''Soaring Fang:''' Dealing damage while grounded charges antigrav repulsors. Dealing damage while airborne extends antigrav repulsors.
*'''Arrowhead Break:''' Lightly vented barrel.  Greatly controls recoil. Increases handling speed.
*'''Ricochet Rounds:''' Rounds ricochet off hard surfaces. Increases stability. Slightly increases range
*'''Swooping Talons:''' Dealing damage while airborne increases this weapon's damage output.
*'''Fitted Stock:''' This stock makes the weapon stable but heavy.  Increases stability. Moderately controls recoil. Slightly decreases handling speed.
*'''Masterwork Catalyst:''' Final blows with this weapon while airborne grant damage resistance.

==Lore==
Across the [[Ascendant Plane]], in the theater of the mind, a [[Mara Sov|Queen]] and a [[Xivu Arath, God of War|War God]] do battle. Within their arena, elocution becomes a spear, and conviction a shield.

YOU ARE SMALL-MINDED, stabs the War God. SHORTSIGHTED. YOU VALUE LIFE OVER VICTORY.

Her words are sharp, her thoughts malicious. The Queen parries and counters.

"You are single-minded," she thrusts back at her opponent. "Myopic. You are war, and nothing else."

A glancing blow. The War God retorts.

WAR IS ETERNAL. YOU ARE NOT. YOU WITHER AND DIE LIKE YOUR ARMIES. YOUR SUBJECTS.

The War God's spearhead finds purchase. The Queen is struck—but not felled. She adjusts her tactics and attempts once more to puncture her foe's armor.

"War is ever hungry," she answers. "You must fight forever, or it will consume you instead of your enemies. In truth, you are not war. Merely its avatar."

A deft maneuver. The War God is surprised and pleased. In response, she pivots to a new angle of attack.

YOUR [[Uldren Sov|BROTHER]] SHUNS YOU.

The Queen falters. It is an opening in her defenses she failed to cover adequately. Psychic blood seeps from a mental wound.

But she rallies.

"Your [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|sister]] plotted against you," she lunges forward. "She freed herself from the bondage you still endure. And she did so at MY hand."

The Queen feels the spear pierce the War God's hide. Something akin to a gasp echoes throughout the Ascendant Plane as the War God takes a step back.

And then the War God laughs.

YOU ARE A WORTHY FOE, she says as she sheathes her spear. I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR NEXT BATTLE.

She departs the field. The Queen is alone, bleeding and spent.

The war has begun.
