The Manticore is a monster from Greek mythology.

Percy Jackson (film series)

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

He captures Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Tyson when they arrive on the Princess Andromeda. During the climactic battle at Polyphemus' lair, the manticore attacks Percy and they engage in an intense fight, where Percy is quickly overwhelmed by the beast. However, before the manticore can kill Percy, it is incapacitated on accident by Kronos as the Titan awakens. In the aftermath of the battle, the manticore kills Annabeth (who is later revived by the Fleece) before it was killed by Grover Underwood and Clarisse La Rue.
