Masticore

Masticore is a creature type used for artifact creatures, which is to be distinguished from manticores. While a manticore is a flying, ferocious, red-aligned, lion-like beast, a masticore is a non-flying, still-ferocious, metallic lion-like beast. Manticores are fleshy and flying; masticores are galvanized and grounded.

Masticores usually have a stinging, barbed tail just like a manticore, but they also tend to have lines of razor-like metal teeth (to do the masticating). The name is based off the word masticate, meaning 'to eat'.

Five masticores have been printed:, , , , and. All Masticores have an ability to deal damage, cause a discard in some form, and all but one have a removal-resisting ability.

Masticores have also been depicted on and on the Unhinged card Remodel.
