Diet: Carnivorous, men's spirit energy, thermal energy

A scorpion-like Category-L Akrid, similar to the Neegal but doesn't hold any bond with their kin and are not any kind of subspecies as well.

The Tangaant was the end of the third colonist group, but not in a way many might think. After being left strandad alone in the middle of the frozen wastes, the last colonist of the group after having escaped a encounter by a Gorevorgg and a Chryatis pack which decided to go after his group instead of each other. Heard rumbling from the south and from the cavern bursting out from it was the first encountered Tangaant ever... This guy was not having a good day. However, instead of attacking, like all of the other Akrids had done up until this point, the Tangaant explained its desire for a strong husband and said if he managed to beat her, he would get defense from the rest of the hostile Akrids from here. The man was just so done and so angry, that he didn't even agree to her terms before he started attacking her, and through a combination of sheer rage, tactics, and more then a bit of luck. He was able to bring the large Akrid to a stand-still, a thing that impressed her... even if he didn't manage to beat her in the end. So while he was falling unconsious from exhaustion, the Tangaant picked him up, smiled, and brought him to her cave to rest... after all, he would need it for next morning.

Standing at around 15 to 16ft tall with the body-type of a Girtablilu. Their frontal pair of legs are more developed and armored out with carapace, with the top part of the leg each having five pairs of razor sharp spikes sticking out of it. Though their second and third pair of legs are less armored and developed so to speak, the second pair at the top of them usually grow four pairs of see-through almost icicle like spines sticking out of them. The most important aspect of a Tangaant is their tail, which ends in a sucker-like hole, with two pairs of bladed-mandible-like potrusions around this hole, the top two of these 'mandibles' being the longer and sharper of the lower two. If agitated or angered, a stinger can stick through this hole, though it contains no venom, it is used like the Neegal primarily to attack. Usually this hole is used to spit out a caustic fluid that is also highly adhesive when dryed. Another use for this tail is to use it very similarily to a Manticore's sucker tail and drain semen from. Though thankfully, the stinger is both made of a material similar to Demon Realm silver and NEVER comes out when aroused or during intercourse. Though this caustic fluid they produce still does, thankfully, it only burns through clothes and likes, and only heats up with skin with arosual very, very quickly, and shouldn't dry out while being circulated in through the tail and even if it does dry out. A Tangaant's saliva quickly deteriorates the material away into a fine dust. Their one and only thermal energy source is at the base of their tail and if damaged enough, causes it to rip off quite violently. On the backs of each Tangaant is a hard chitinous shell-like object that covers upper back and most of the lower portions of their back as well, used to defend against anything tough trying to pierce it. For those who are wondering, yes, Tangaants can use demonic energy to shift their size into something much more managable and less heavy so to speak.

Tangaants are loner-type Akrids that usually reside in their caverns, hopefully full of thermal energy so they don't have to go out as much and aren't very much socialble... infact they're quite annoyed when someone or something enters their surrounding terrtoriy, as they usually make it very clear that they are here, usually by spraying it full of their tail fluids that can harden into ornate structures if given enough time and patience. Though the Tangaant rarely does so as it wastes nutrients and precious time to rest and think. Even in talking, Tangaants while smart as the average human only talk in curt replys that are intended in only getting the meaning across rather then use for delicate or flowery language, which can sometimes make others quite upset, and while unnoticable to most, makes the Tangaant herself quite distraught innertly. Though they make no effort themselves to correct such statements, as they feel it take too much time.

These scorpion-like mamono feel it necessary to have strong husbands most of the time, as there are exceptions to this rule. But upon encountering or being encountered by a man they feel as though looks strong enough, they will ask a challenge of them to be combated to see if they are worthy of being their husband. If they accept this challenge they are inwardly elated at the prospect of finally getting the chance of having a husband. If rejected, their expression will visibly darken and they will leave the man to their business... unless they are in her territory, then they'll force him to get out. If rejected enough times, eventually the needyness will overthrow until they will simply attack the next man on sight for their love, rather then wait for some great fighter to come to them.

Whether or not the man manages to defeat the Tangaant in combat doesn't matter, the Tangaant will still claim him as husband even if he was able to just put out a modicum of defense or offense in their combat, they will be satisfied. Though the Tangaant will have more of their way if they do win the fight rather then the man obviously, usually using their sucker-like tail to initiate before moving on towards more seemingly inimate and loving acts. Perhaps a bout of teasing in there as well that most might not think a Tangaant would be able to do if someone were to have intensive personal interaction with them before. Of course at this point, the man has gained the scorpion girl as a wife, one that isn't too fond of the idea of harems at that as well.

Tangaants as wives try to act tough and knowing of their understanding of basic human-living, but like before, they are only that mostly of a average human intelligence and in the end pitifully have to learn how to do things they aren't used too, which is capable of making them quite upset when their man has to do a lot of things for them or teach them. A rather funny juxtaposition to their expressionless attitudes before hand.

Tangaants that are displaced from Invasive usually enter a angered frenzy, probably because of not being able to be left alone in a crowded place or just being far away from their territory or home and uncharactically grab at any man they can find to calm their nerves and then ask questions later.

On a entirely different note, teenager Tangaants are known as Tangees, they are considered a Category-M at this point and strangely enough almost always appears in groups of two to three despite the older Tangaants being semi-grumpy loners, its as if like some instictual switch was flicked on when they got older and made them stray away from the idea of groups. Although, those Tangees that get themselves a husband don't stray away from the idea of a husband or group when they do eventually grow up into a Tangaant, which is also interesting in its own right.
