Mimmurri

The mimmurri are strange creatures who are believed to have once been scorpions but have been changed by the chaos magic of Sylansse to become intelligent (somewhat) people. In most ways, they still resemble scorpions, but they have altered their way of moving about to make themselves appear more like other humanoids. Instead of scuttling around on six legs in a horizontal fashion, they curl their lower bodies upwards. In this way, they still have four of their eight legs on the ground, but the rest of their body is held vertically.

Even more so than actual scorpions, their bodies are segmented, and so are their tails. It is this segmentation that allows them to hold their torsos vertically. It also allows them to use their tails to attack people in front of them, despite their tails now being on the back. Instead of coming over the top of the head, their tails dart from around the body. While all mimmurri have tails, not all of them have tails long enough to be useful as weapons. The drones as an example have very short tails with little if any poison.

"Description of mimmurri drones for players:""The creature before you is something from out of a nightmare.  It is clearly some manner of spider, scorpion or crab, having things in common with all of these creatures.  Though it seems to stand upright, it has a small, almost crab-like body that is on the ground with four crab-like legs.""Its torso and what you assume is its head are vertical.  This is not like a centaur or spider centaur where the body is considerably bigger than the torso, but instead the exact opposite.  The torso seems to be about 3’ tall, while the portion with the legs might only be a foot long.""Where its shoulders should be sprout two long arms ending in pincer claws, but these are not the pincers of a crab, but instead a scorpion.  Beneath these is another pair of arms, shaped more like their legs.  These seem to have atrophied and do not seem to be of much use to the creatures.""Their carapace is white, but a sickly white, reminiscent of ghosts or dusty cobwebs. Its head is almost non-existent, but you think it has a row of eyes wrapping around both sides of its face."
