Information
These creatures are half human and scorpion in appearance. The torso is where the scorpion's head would be, while the rest of the scorpion form is intact. The organs are not human but scorpion, and in place of flesh is an exoskeleton, while their faces, arms, body to the waist appears human in form. They have no hair. Their eyes are black. These aggressive creatures form desert tribes and are very territorial and distrustful of strangers. Though they can be reasoned with they are also easy to offend. Hostile if they feel threatened or if they are insulted.
