Allright, i heard about how a demon can have a Vorpal whip. So, what does it do?
Vorpal: "This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to sever the heads of those it strikes. Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the weapon severs the opponent's head (if it has one) from its body. Some creatures, such as many aberrations and all oozes, have no heads. Others, such as golems and undead creatures other than vampires, are not affected by the loss of their heads. Most other creatures, however, die when their heads are cut off. A vorpal weapon must be a slashing melee weapon. If you roll this property randomly for an inappropriate weapon, reroll."
It momentarily turns into a laser that cuts the head off.

So a scorpion whip, then.
I understand that, but a whip IS a melee weapon with reach. So it does take off the opponents head? its just.. .hard to imagine. I mean a weapon like a whip striking an opponents throat and taking off the head?
Just think of it as the last foot wrapping around the victim's throat, and when it's pulled back, it snaps the neck off and twists it until the head pops off like a rotten grape.
Kind of like the end of Johnny Mnemonic (granted, laser whip, but still...)
drizt´s father takes the tongue out of a drow´s mouth in the novels with a whip if i´m not mistaken

Not laser, but mono-molecular. It was so fine it was only a single molecule in width.
A bullwhip produces an incredible amount of cutting force that can easily carve horrible wounds in things (the crack of a whip is actually a sonic boom). Add a little magic and presto you remove heads.
