Monster Girl Catalog: Girtablilu

Dec 7, 2019

Concept Origins Girtablilu are part of Akkadian mythology, such as in Enûma Eliš and the Epic of Gilgamesh (~1800 BC). They are alternatively called aqrabuamelu. They are guardians of sacred places. This ended up being the most popular "official" name for the race (apart from simply "scorpion man/girl"), likely due to Monster Girl Encyclopedia. The only alternative name I came across was serket, used in the online game Everyday Life with Monster Girls Online (2015). Serket is the Egyptian goddess of animals and venom/medicine, associated with the scorpion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biology & Abilities Mor
