From what I can tell, the spines act as a local anasthetic. Meaning whatever pain they caused, they numb.

The sadism of the manticore only extends, based on the profile, to tricking people into thinking she's going to eat them. That makes them more prankster than anything else, really.

Sweet or not, the sandworm EATS YOU then holds you prisoner inside herself. For my money, that's a lot more cruel than a mean prank, even if its not meant to be. Plus, she's still physically creepy. I am not going to look past that. I don't care how much peek-a-boo she plays, or how many floral prints she decorates the inside of her shell with. She could pop out wearing one of those damned frog hats, and she'd still give me the creeps.

And, again, so not down with being literally eaten. Vore is so not cool to me.
