An imperfect clone of Echoes (an alien sent to Earth to evaluate humanity) created by the Towa Organization and is considered a monster. It escaped from the lab it was created in, hoping to preserve its life.   "Manticore" means "man-eater".

Five years ago, a string of grisly murders shook the city to its core and now the rumors have begun once more. Boogiepop... Everyone knows about Boogiepop: meet her one dark night and you are taken. People tell each other the stories and laugh: no one believes that she can possibly exist in this day and age. Still, strange things appear to be going on and the darkness is taking on many forms. Something is out there. Are you safe?
