Mantakores are creatures encountered in Borderlands 3. They are native to Nekrotafeyo.
Appearances
Strategy
Mantakores are very large quadrupedals with large tails. The also have pairs of blade-like appendages attached to their torsos. From a medium to long range, they spin around launching toxic globs. They also burry themselves into the ground as they approach their targets. They can not be harmed while burried. Once within melee distance, they viciously slash and stab their victims.
Mantakores are slow moving and very easy to outrun even on foot. They also tend to spend extended periods of time just making postures and growling sound as if trying to intimidate their victims. They have strong armor which must be stripped down with corrosive weapons before incendiary weapons are used. Despite their size and strong armor, Mantakores are suprisingly easy to deal with providing Vault Hunters are constantly on the move and are using adequate weapons.
Notes
- Occasionally a Manta and a Korax may morph together into a Mantakore. The Korax lands on top of the Manta and they ondergo a short mutation animation. The appendages of the Korax unfold to the long arms of the Mantakore, losing the wings. The tails of both combine, elongating the Manta's bladed tail. The Korax' head unfolds fully and becomes the Mantakore's head.
Trivia
- The Mantakore's name is a combination of Manta and Korax, the two creatures that combine to form it.
- It's also a reference to the mythological Manticore, a being the Mantakore is visually very similar to.
