Manscorpion Tark

Manscorpion Tark is a character in Dark Souls II.

Desription
Manscorpion Tark is a large half-human, half-scorpion hybrid residing in the Shaded Ruins. He can be summoned for the boss battle against Scorpioness Najka once his dialogue is exhausted, though the Ring of Whispers is required to do so. His sign can be found on the ground directly outside Najka's fog gate.

Plot
Manscorpion Tark and Scorpioness Najka were once a peaceful couple living a quiet existance in the Shaded Ruins. But as time passed, Najka slowly began losing her mind and became more violent as a result. A war began between Tark and Najka, and has been waged for many years before the players' arrival. If spoken to while wearing the Ring of Whispers, Tark requests that the player defeat Najka, leading to the placing of his summon sign.

Lore
Tark explains that he and Najka were created by a "master", who has long since disappeared. It can be strongly assumed that Tark and Najka are experiments, similar to The Duke's Dear Freja, possibly sharing the same "master" or creator. He also claims that he and Najka are the only two of his kind that can speak "the human tongue", meaning there may be more Scorpion hybrids, or experiments located across Drangleic and beyond.
