Description

Finaly finding time to submit something between all my homeworks, and here you have another hybrid

Hydra Scorpion (Polycephalus Imperator)

Hybrided from:
-Alligator Snapping Turtle
-Emperor Scorpion
-Gila Monster

This poisonous reptile reaches a lenght of 80-100 cm and can wight up to 45 kg, but despite his rather small proportions, he is the apex predator in his desertic enviroment.

His sand colored Shell and skin pattern allows him to camouflage between the sand and the rocks, where he waits for his preys. Somethimes he even bury himself leaving only the spikes of his shell outside.

The succes of this creature as a predator come from a very powerful venom that he uses to kill preys as big as him, or bigger, but the most significant detail is that the venom is no longer on its tail, nor even in his mouth, its is in his pinsers. Each pinser is full of little fang-looking stings that penetrate the victims when he grabs them, and segregate big amounts of a powerful neurotoxin that causes a major failure in the nervous system, killing in minutes.

His tail can still be used to case a lot of damage and as a "knife" to cut meat when the pinsers are busy.

This peculiar monster receives his name from the fact that both his pinser and tail posses uniq paterns that make them look like heads, and as they are always held up, making it look like it has 3 snake heads while the real head is hidden under the shell to keep it safe.

Well, hope you like it
