Girtablilu

Girtablilus are desert-dwelling guardians with the upper bodies of muscular humanoids and the lower bodies of massive scorpions. They are most often found defending ancient temples and religious artifacts with zealous fervor.

Girtablilu communities usually form around common beliefs rather than familial bonds and place greater importance on chosen family than they do blood relations. While rare, there have been cases of members of other ancestries living among girtablilu communities. When outsiders appeal to study the girtablilu’s protected sites or to join one of their communities, the divine leader has the final say on who is or isn’t welcome.
