The manic is ever so slightly more civilized than previous generations of its species. They are still quite hostile, unforgiving and unapproachable, but will not immediately jump upon anyone at the slightest hint of aggression like a wild animal. They also display marginally more intelligence, being able to use basic tactics in combat and understaing the value of allying with someone for long term gains over eating/killing them.

They are as territorial as ever, especially against humans.
