Its tail splits into two separate stingers and the creature's mouth is filled with razor-sharp teeth.

A gharros looks like a cross between a large human and an even larger scorpion. They serve as guards, soldiers, shock troops (and even assassins sometimes) to some of the minor nobles and lesser demon lords of the Abyss. They hate all goodness and seek to destroy it at any opportunity through whatever means available.
A gharros is about 8 feet tall and 10 feet long and weighs around 1,500 pounds. Gharros are very aggressive in battle and seek to kill the strongest opponent first. They wield their battleaxes in combat and sting with their deadly tails, all the while sprinkling the fight with their spell-like abilities.
Unless ordered to do so, gharros never take prisoners in battle. They fight to the death (either their death or their opponent's).
