Trivia

• The Scorpileo might draw inspiration from the manticore, a mythical creature depicted with the head of a human, body of a lion, and tail of a scorpion.
• The creature shares many similarities with the Predator. Its ability to see in infrared and its extendable claws allude to the Predator's natural weapons, while its chattering and extending its jaws also reference the Predator. Also, the Scorpileo's hideout is littered with arranged carcasses in the same way the Predator arranges its prey like trophies. However, its stinger tail and body shape alludes to the Alien.
