Half-Manticore

Half-Manticores are the offspring of manticores and their mortal mates. These hybrid are purposely bred by Manticores so that their kind could walk amongst humans. The females usually kill their mates after conception or after the child is born. It was stated that they are not inherently evil, and are born with a human form aside from a snake-like tongue.

History
A mortal named Derek was once the mate of a female Manticore, and when he learned of his mate's pregnancy and true identity he wanted the child. He then experimented on himself with potions to try to gain enough power to save his son from growing up with his mother, who took the child to the Underworld. He succeeded in saving his son with the help of the original Charmed Ones. They offered to bind Derek's son's powers, but Derek declined the offer and left to raise him up as normally as possible.

This half-manticore baby, who was named Damon Morgan, would later appear in Destined and has remained a family friend to the Halliwell family.
