Scorrow

A jet black warrior, the upper half of a lithe, lethal drow and the lower half as a massive scorpion with a stinger that reaches over his shoulder. The sickening green venom that drips from its barbed hook is also laced over both of the wicked underhand knives. Thankfully, for as terrifying as his appearance over the ravine is, it appears the trio of hill giants behind you have turned their attention to new combatant.... and responded by scattering in a panic.

The drow elves of the jungles of Xen'Drik worship scorpions and their eldest hunting spirit is Vulkoor, the Scorpion. Occasionally, he will bless one of the tribes with a scorrow child. Born as a fusing of drow and scorpion, armed with venomous stinger, they quickly grow into solitary or pack predators of the forgotten jungles. Like their drow cousins, scorrow have a hatred of giants that rivals genocide and usually have quite a collection of successful hunts.
