Description

Welcome to Background Spotlight, where I'll be featuring some of my favorite non-speaking characters in the pages of The Underburbs. These characters keep Underborough from being a desolate wasteland occupied only by its pro- and antagonists and their petty problems.

Meet Corey. He sits next to Helen in Mrs. Grumbleby's science class.

The first question I get from most people upon seeing Corey for the first time is "why does that lion have a tail?" (I don't ask them why they completely ignored the wings.) Corey is a manticore, a mythical beast with the head and body of a lion, bat-like wings, and a scorpion tail. Or at least that's what it looks like in Castlevania. I'd really be hard-pressed to tell you the difference between a manticore and a chimera, even if they are both literally a Google search away as I type this.

Most of you are groaning at my choice of name for Corey by now.
