Pscorpion

　This monstrosity would be just another giant scorpion if it had a sting at the end of its tail ―― but it has a Psychic Sword (pp. 7-8) instead! This “pstinger” is extremely agile, and capable of stabbing, slashing, and parrying in all directions like a psychic slayer wielding a similar weapon. Otherwise, the pscorpion fights much as one would expect, grappling with pincers whenever possible, using its fearsome psionic weapon to kill trapped prey, and then eating the remains.

There are pyro-pscorpions with Pyrokinetic Blade (change cutting attack to 2d+2 burning), sleep-pscorpions with Neurokinetic Blade (change impaling attack to 1d+1 fatigue), and two-tailed pscorpions with a different pstinger on each tail. Longlived pscorpions may have Will 17+ and correspondingly higher pstinger damage.
