The -D option allows you to specify Decoys. This option makes it look like those decoys are scanning the target network. It does not hide your own IP, but it makes your IP one of a torrent of others supposedly scanning the victim at the same time. This not only makes the scan look more scary, but reduces the chance of you being traced from your scan (difficult to tell which system is the "real" source).
