The name is slightly misleading, as it may refer to either a male or female of the species. The acronym for Father of All Manticores (F.O.A.M.) is not used as it would seem to imply a fun, squeezeable creature which is directly opposite of what it actually is. In fact, a M.O.A.M delights in squeezing its victims to death. M.O.A.M.s speak Common.COMBATA M.O.A.M. begins most attacks with a volley of spikes, then closes. In the outdoors, it often uses its powerful wings to stay aloft during battle.Spikes (Ex): With a snap of its tail, a manticore can loose a volley of six spikes as a standard action (make an attack roll for each spike). This attack has a range of 180 feet with no range increment. All targets must be within 30 feet of each other. The creature can launch only twenty-four spikes in any 24-hour period.Skills: *M.O.A.M.s have a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks.</blockquote>
