Manticoils (spelled Mantacoil in the bestiary), sometimes called Double Wings, are harmless bird-like entities in Lethal Company. Characterized by their set of four wings, manticoils are commonly found flying through the air, or foraging on the ground in large groups.
Bestiary[]
- Sigurd's danger level: 0%
- Scientific name: Quadrupes-manta
- Mantacoils are a passerine bird of the family corvidae. Their bodies are quite large compared to their early descendants, and their wingspan ranges from 55 to 64 inches. Their most defining characteristic is their set of four wings. Their back wings are mostly used to stabilize when at low speed, while their front two wings create the majority of lift. Their round bodies are a striking yellow but with black outlines or stripes along their primary (rear) feathers.
- Manticoils mostly feed on small insects but can also feed on small rodents. They are highly intelligent and social. They pose little threat and have a generally passive temperament towards humans, although they are capable of transmitting Rabies, Rubenchloria, and Pitt Virus.

| Moon | Spawn Chance |

| 5-Embrion | 100% |
| 21-Offense | 100% |
| 68-Artifice | 73.53% |
| 41-Experimentation | 51.02% |
| 20-Adamance | 50% |
| 220-Assurance | 49.75% |
| 61-March | 41.5% |

Behavior[]
Manticoil will disperse into the sky when approached or otherwise frightened by an employee. They will fly out when hear sound exceeding a certain volume.
Note[]
All melee weapons (Shovel, Stop Sign, Yield Sign, and Kitchen Knife) can kill a Manticoil with 1 hit, but Manticoils are immune to damage from the Double-Barrel.
They can be stunned, and when done so, they will spin in place.
Strategy[]
Although killing a Manticoil is meaningless, the method with the highest success rate is stunning them with a Stun Grenade, and then approaching to hit it with a melee weapon.
Manticoils are docile and will fly away when a player approaches them. They pose no threat to a player's safety. For beginner players, they are one of the two harmless Entities provided by the official testing Scanner function (the other one is Roaming Locust).
Interestingly, groups of Manticoils can become effective targets for distracting Old Birds' attention. When Old Birds launch missiles at a Manticoil group, due to the slow speed and accuracy of their fire, most Manticoils will take off as soon as they are fired upon (from hearing the sound of the missile fire). Old Birds often spend more time dealing with these Manticoil takeoffs, making Manticoil groups a useful tool for employees to combat Old Birds on 68-Artifice and other moons with a high probability of spawning Old Birds.
After Version 60, Manticoils now leave at 11:58 AM instead of 4:27 PM. This means that Manticoils will no longer be able to provide employees with the ability to distract Old Birds, except during Eclipsed Weather.
