They did originally have a scorpion tail, but it had dozens of poisonous stingers that the manticore could fling at people. It was said that the manticore would never miss. Elephants were supposed to be immune to their venom, which is why it was said that people hunting a manticore were said to do it from the backs of Elephants.
