Manticore

Manticores are relatively weak as far as basic statistics go, but they do have a special ability that can Poison your entire party. It's not very accurate, but it can be somewhat annoying and they use it fairly often. Fortunately Manticores can be easily taken out with a wide variety of attacks.
