Ghost-tiger manticores are closely related to the more common manticores, which they greatly resemble, save for the namesake tiger stripes that glow with ethereal light. These stripes are said to be the source of the ghost-tigers' mystical powers, such as the ability to turn invisible. Ghost-tigers don't usually work together with their cousins, but when they do, a ghost-tiger usually takes the role of leader. Ghost-tiger manticores love silver more than anything else and are often found wearing silver rings or necklaces. They have been known to serve masters who promise regular gifts of silver, alongside fresh meat and luxurious living quarters.
