Is that a female or a male because if it is a female, I think it is looking for some more scalps!

Yes, they have mating rituals; if they hadn't, they would have eaten each other in to extinction.

...And its claws are as big as cups, and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! And Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you! And instead of a mouth it's got four arses!
