 This creature is a twisted desert echo of the centaur. It has the hindquarters of a scorpion, but a short, muscular human torso protrudes where its head and claws should be. The human part of the Scorpio is bronze-skinned and hairless, with white eyes that seem to stare blindly at opponents.
The scorpion part of the creature is a yellowy brown. Its stinger shoots over its shoulder, stretching like a whip, and imparting venom that is just as dangerous as that of the Giant Scorpion. Additionally, the djeer tend to wield one short sword in each hand.
Djeers attack and kill travellers for their meat. They tend to live in desert oases, or in caves which offer shelter from the worst of the midday sun.
