Prof. Draco wrote: Anyone figured out what that even means yet? And why not simply call it a Manticore? Naiads and Krampus are names based on mythology and are also wesen species. Why should manticore be different?

Manticore is the Greek version of Martyaxwar. Istsa, as far as I know, has no meaning. Sitan apparently means tiny or insignificant in Serbo-Croatian and Gothic. It is also the Filipino/Tagalog god of the afterlife and the underworld, whose four agents help him lead man to sin and destruction. Coincedentally, there is a rumor that there will be a Filipino episode coming up for Wu. But realistically, I doubt that there will ever be a Istsa Sitan. At least, not one before a Rissfleisch or a Mordstier. The Istsa Sitan has only ever been a rumor, and I doubt that it will ever be something else.
