Manticore

Stuff in the description, yes yes yes This week's Toastbeard theme was "The Big Reveal." I thought about it, and I decided, "What if not all manticores are as nice as the one that the mane 6 encounter in the second episode?" This song is a race for your life against the manticore. I went all out, and I'm super proud of the result. I hope you enjoy! Art by Bright Chimera, a very good friend of mine and a brilliant artist.
