Another Monster: Wherein I got bored earlier and made a thing

I got bored earlier today. When I get bored, sometimes I make things. This is one of those times.

Meet the Divolgo.

I apologize again for my non-existent art skills.

The Divolgo is a giant scorpion, who's body (not including claws and tail) grows up to eight feet long. The claws can cut a man in half. Giant bugs are scary and all, but even a cursory glance at that image will show you what makes the Divolgo interesting. Instead of a stinger, the creature has a woman's head at the end of it's tail. Curiously, it is always a woman's head at the end of the tail. Sages have wondered for ages if this is because all Divolgo are female (and if so, what the males look like) or if they were all created as female by some forgotten mage long ago. What is known about the Divolgo is that they are old. Very old. There are ancient tales from far away lands that talk of encounters with Divolgo. They're so old and have seen so much that they know terrible secrets about the world. Some say they know everything, but that's not the case.

Divolgo are intelligent and solitary creatures. They prefer to avoid the company of other intelligent creatures and even other Divolgo. While they are technically capable of speech (and indeed use that ability to defend themselves, see below) they generally don't communicate with other creatures. Divolgo speak using the head at the end of their tail. It seems to be capable of speaking any language (no one has ever encountered one that couldn't speak their tongue),

When attacked, a Divolgo will try to grapple the nearest attacker, then use its tail to whisper in the ear of it's target. The whispers are dark secrets that poison the mind. Victims often lose the will to fight. Which is fine with the Divolgo, who are generally docile provided no one approach them too close or attack first.

Divolgo are drawn to places where powerful magics were once at work, but are no longer in effect. This often means that abandoned wizard towers, ruined cultic templed or deserted druidic groves are homes to Divolgo. In the (all too common) event that someone visit these places, the Divolgo will attempt to hide by flattening its body to the ground; a task at it which it is very skilled.
