Adramelech (Another 100 Shades of Dark)

Bearing a lion face, Adramelech is the darklord and tyrant king of Sabhur, a city-state domain resembling ancient Babylon. Adramelech demonstrates an affinity for lions, whom he allows to wander Sabhur and guard his opulent ziggurat-palace. Adramelch bears an explosive tempter and excessive cruelty even considering the era from which he hails, so Sabhur's denizens do their best to avoid his wrath. Fittingly, Adramalech suffers from a curse to transform into a humanoid-shaped manticore when overcome with rage.
