Ah so game logic then I’m okay with this. :D

Okay, I just got to the part of the second chapter where the depicted scene is happening and I’m starting to believe the Manticore is just a bigger, more dangerous (but still living) subspecies of that happens to be found in the harshest, most frigid reaches of Northern Equestria (kinda like how bears, wolves, sabercats, and trolls in Skyrim get stronger and nastier as you go further up mountains and further into the snowy North).

@Pagan  
Can’t disagree with you on that point.

@Wyvrex21  
Yeah I know but when I think fallout I think of things like deathclaws just really knarly looking creatures so that’s why I thought this would look good in fallout equestria.

@Pagan  
Actually, manticores in FoE are specifically mentioned to look exactly the same as they did in the days before the Great War as they are totally immune to the mutagenic effects of both radiation and “Taint” (AKA the Impelled Metamorphosis Potion) for reasons not entirely known, though a certain ghoul doctor believed the key to their immunity to mutation was in their venom (thus motivating him to perform gruesome and usually lethal experiments on countless live ponies in his insane quest to develop “the cure for Taint”).
 
Based on the title and description of the story this image is based on, I’m guessing that this creature is some sort of long-extinct ancestral manticore that has been “resurrected” from fossilized tissue via some process of advanced magical science similar that used by both Jurassic Park and the Pokemon games. I’ll have to actually read this story first in order to find out whether or not my hypothesis is correct, though I will agree with you on the fact that this beast looks totally badass.

Wow from the thumbnail I was thinking ‘man I bet that’s what the manticores would look like in fallout equestria’ clicked the image and it’s actually a fallout equestria picture, Great job.

this art style kicks all of the ass
