Werescorpion - #MonsterMondays

“Luthor pulled back on his camel’s reins, squinting against the desert sun to the dunes ahead of him. Was that a ripple of heat or something moving under the sand? His stray thought was interrupted by a massive chitinous claw snapping closed around his waist, snapping his spine. The look of surprise on his face lasted only a second before the giant stinger entered his back and burst through his chest... ”
