Idea:
A female Manticore.

Description of Manticore:
The sphinx was the basis for the manticore's body.
She is nude, mostly her chest area is bare of fur
like a sphinx.
Her beast body is shaped like a cheetah's body
but instead of spots like a cheetah's, she has
tiger stripes.
She does have a Manticore's tail and ears.
And she has a large pair of horns.
Instead of bird wings like a sphinx, she has
bat/dragon like wings.

Description of scene:
She is standing on all fours and looking at wonder
at the shining/glowing blue ball as it floats above
a open treasure chest. She does not realize she
has been transformed into a manticore.
Also seen is her torn clothes laying about everywhere.

Her Story:
She was a beautiful princess until she meet a
wizard who wanted her for himself, she
refused his advances! So the wizard plotted
his revenge, on her birthday a present was
delivered to her and when she opened it,
the magical blue ball transformed the princess
into a manticore. The only way the curse can
be broken is by true love's kiss.
