Mantichimera

A creature that came to me in a dream. It inherits the overall body of a lion, with the armour and tail of a scorpion, and three eyes above the lion eyes. One belonging to a hawk and the giant eye belonging to a snake. The hawk and snake eyes only open to unleash its true power against its foes.

It also uses its other eyes for specific functions when the lion vision is not in use. The hawk eyes are used to detect prey from miles away and is used for night vision like an owl. The snake eye is also used for detecting hidden enemies and prey by sensing body heat.
