A Lhankor Mhy wants it to study and to question/interrogate so a larger strike against chaos may be had against the Print? Maybe the want to milk its poison to develop antidotes? Yes, that sort of thing... Exactly.

Erol of Backford Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Has anyone used duck or flamingo scorpionmen? Wack wack wack... or do you prefer quack quack? I see chaos strange things happening as any scorpion queen tries different breading programs? Why not other races? What is the most interesting you have attempted and what worked the best for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do scorpionmen resemble the creature their queen ate alive? Or does its chaotic-tainted spirit just reside in a generic scorpion man body? The scorpion duck certainly triggers the imagination. Perhaps a new chaotic feature: triggers uncontrollable laughter, victim will roll on the floor. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do have to be sentient creatures, so you'll generally have humans and trolls where those are the most prominent species (e.g. around Dragon Pass). Gorilla, Duck, Baboon, Elf, morocanth, beastman - those are all possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very honoured if you remember it from my scenario "A Short Detour".... although it was a horse-headed broo, and not a scorpion-man (although there were a couple scorpion-men in the same squad of NPCs). 14 hours ago, Squaredeal Sten said: I know broo will resemble the creature they are born from. But do scorpionmen resemble the creature their queen ate alive? Or does its chaotic-tainted spirit just reside in a generic scorpion man body? RQ2 Cults of Terror has the "Ritual of Rebirth" special Rune spell for a Scorpion Queen to transform someone into one of her scorpion-men (I can't find it in the new RQG RBoM so I don't know what became of that spell?) FWIW, the queen eats the person, and what comes out of the egg is a scorpion with the torso of whatever it was before. So yes, you can have scorpion-ducks and scorpion-trolls and scorpion-beast-men and whatever else you want. I assume the subject had to be intelligent though so a scorpion-horse would be only in a rare case of an awakened horse turned to Chaos. I assume that if one of the new scorpion-duck is female, she could leave the nest and become a queen of her own nest and voila, you have a tribe of scorpion-ducks. In a completely unrelated subject, there may or may not be now a tribe of scorpion-ducks in my Glorantha, weirdly placed somewhere nearby wherever my players are headed to next. Funny how that happens. Edited October 5, 2022 by Lordabdul 2 Quote Ludovic aka Lordabdul -- read and listen to The God Learners , the Gloranthan podcast, newsletter, & blog !

Probably @Stew Stansfield or @Lordabdul! That way I could integrate it into Legendary Duck Tower...

Like some sort of, I don't know, some sort of savage? Everybody knows proper breading is key to cooking the most succulent and delicious of sentient creatures! 2 1 Quote ROLAND VOLZ Running: nothing | Playing: Battletech Hero, CoC 7th Edition, Blades in the Dark | Planning: D&D 5E Home Game, Operation: Sprechenhaltestelle, HeroQuest 1E Sartarite Campaign D&D is an elf from Tolkien, a barbarian from Howard, and a mage from Vance fighting monsters from Lovecraft in a room that looks like it might have been designed by Wells and Giger. - TiaNadiezja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
