Happy Little Manticore

A "manticore" is a creature from medieval bestiaries. It was purported to have the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion or a dragon. Sometimes, they even had wings, though you can see that this one is of the ground bound variety. They had a fearsome reputation, but don't worry, this particular manticore is quite friendly. His favorite things are tea and gingersnaps, and he enjoys sing-alongs. Someday in the not too distant future he will be looking for a new home (preferably, one that supplies gingersnaps).

When standing, he is 12 cm long and approximately 14 cm high at his tallest point. He is fully jointed with a triple string of waxed string at the shoulder and hip joints. All four limbs move independently. His mane is made up of four colors of individually rooted merino fibers, and can be gently styled with careful finger
