This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Scorpion Man (Sumerian)
Scorpion men are featured in several Akkadian language myths, including the Babylonian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Scorpion Men are described as having the head, torso, and arms of a man and the body of a scorpion. They were first created by Tiamat in order to wage war against the younger gods for the murder of her mate Apsu.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, they stand guard outside the gates of the sun god Shamash at the mountains of Mashu. These give entrance to Kurnugi, the land of darkness. The scorpion men open the doors for Shamash as he travels out each day, and close the doors after him when he returns to the underworld at night.
