Tail Spike Regrowth. The manticore has twenty-four tail spikes. Used spikes regrow when the manticore finishes a long rest.

Multiattack. The manticore makes four attacks: one with its bite, two with its claws, and one with its tail spike or all four with its tail spikes.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage.

Tail Spike. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 100/200 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) piercing damage.

Hatred for Magic. Once per combat, if a spellcaster within 100 feet of the Violet Manticore begins to cast a spell with a noticeable verbal or somatic component, then the Violet Manticore can make one tail spike attack as a reaction. The spellcaster must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or the spell will fail.
