Heres a couple of 'scorpion men' types that I pulled off a list (there are spidery types too) of a game that died
BUTHAD (Scorpion Vermen)
Personality: The buthad are a rigid militaristic race that believes only the strongest are worthy to live. They have an almost deadly zeal for any cause they support
Physical Description: The buthad stand between 6’-6” to 7’-6”. Their head is a horror that seems to combine a scorpion body with a human head. The head has eight scorpion ‘legs’ that are often adorned with small trophies of past battles; eight eyes also are on the head as well as a pair of scorpion mandibles & two scorpion claws that are used for close-up fighting. The head also has a human mouth, hair , & ears amongst the conglomeration. Their coloration of both the scorpion’s body & ‘human’ body is dependaent on the species of the scorpion depicted. These markings denote clans.
Racial Traits:
• +4 Str, +2 Con, -2 Wis, –2 Chr.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, buthad have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Buthad base land speed is 30 feet.

• Chitin: The buthad’s skin is tougher than mere flesh. He gains a +2 bonus to armor class.
• Poison: The buthad produces a vile toxin. Once per day, the character can spit this venom up to 10 feet. The poison has a DC to resist equal to 10 + ½ the buthad’s hit dice + the buthad’s Constitution modifier. It causes 1d4/1d4 Con damage. For every four of the buthad’s character levels, add +1 to the damage. (note: this poison is also produced by the stinger on the 'head tail')
• Natural Attack: The buthad has scorpion pincers that do 1d4 damage each.
• Survivor: the buthad is exceptionally resistant to physical assault & gains a +2 racial bonus to Fortitude saves.
