The Manticorac Dragoons are the shock cavalry of the Penitent Crusade, Bulwarks elevated to elite status, paired with monstrous mounts born of forbidden fleshcraft. Each Dragoon rides a Manticorac: a chimeric man-lion whose clawed haunches tower over the heads of men, its sharp-toothed human face snarling beneath a wild mane.

These creatures are not beasts to be tamed. They are proud, volatile, and intelligent, too clever for obedience, too feral for diplomacy. The bond between rider and mount is forged in conflict, not trust. Only through brute will and ruthless dominance can a Dragoon command such a terror.

Armed with heavy halberds and spiked shields, the Dragoons hurl themselves into enemy ranks with devastating precision. As the Bulwark strikes with trained discipline, the Manticorac fights with raw, unrelenting fury, rending, mauling, and trampling anything in its path.

Some of these man-lions even bear wings, carrying commanders above the fray. But whether on foot or in the sky, the Manticorac Dragoons embody the terrifying fusion of faith, fleshcraft, and violence. They are not merely cavalry, they are barely contained catastrophe.
