In Real Life, scorpions are mostly shy, retiring arachnids, preferring to stay out of trouble and only using their pincers and stinging tails to subdue prey (or potential mates) or defend themselves. In fictionland, scorpions often make appearances as deadly foes. This is probably a combination of Rule of Cool and their distinctively badass appearance, but it does tend to get them a fair bit of demonization due to Animal Stereotypes. Scorpions, being of the arachnid class, are closely related to spiders, and as with spiders and their fangs, scorpions are pretty much universally known for their tails, and are, admittedly, pretty scary things to come across, large or small. In popular culture, scorpions are often depicted as scary even by arachnid standards. While there are a number of examples of heroic or at least benign spiders in fiction, scorpions are almost invariably portrayed as evil to the point of being made out as an Unpleasant Animal Counterpart to spiders. For a given value of evil that is, as they rarely have developed enough personalities to amount to anything more than dangerous, mindless animals and often no more than tools of murder for wannabe killers: because of their venom, they are used as Animal Assassins, although where Spiders might be associated with the thief or rogue in a Fantasy setting, Scorpions tend to be associated with hunters or warriors due to their heavy armor. You can often expect scorpions in Shifting Sand Land, possibly alongside Scorpion People. Spider Tanks may have the appearance of a scorpion. May be stabbed. However, the majority of scorpion stings are not dangerous to humans, being on average only about as dangerous as a bee sting. The Emperor Scorpion, probably the largest and most iconic scorpion species, is frequently seen, despite being one of the least venomous species and are even popular as pets or even as food (popular as far as arachnid fans go, anyway). Compare Spiders Are Scary and Creepy Camel Spider, for other arachnids that tend to be portrayed as much more dangerous and aggressive than they are in real life. Also see here for how real-life scorpions are different from many fictional ones. |

In ULTRAKILL, the Hideous Mass is a Greater Demon that can be best described as a grotesque, scorpion-shaped amalgamation of meat and statues. According to its Terminal Data, these rare demons are the result of a single shell filled with an excessive amount of Hell mass, causing the mass to burst open the shell and flow through the seams. It's also a formidable foe, thanks to its massive health, damage-proof stone carapace, the ability to fire rains of Hell energy, and the ability to fire its stinger tail like a harpoon. Thankfully, it only stays in one spot, and attacking its weak spots (such as the underbelly and tail) deals extra damage. | |

Mariel of Redwall has Skrabblag, a giant black scorpion found by searat Gabool the Wild, who keeps him as a pet. Eventually, Gabool, having lost his sanity throughout the book, starts siccing Skrabblag on any rat he deems a mutineer or a spy. Skrabblag nearly takes out a Badger Lord before his would-be victim flings him into the face of Gabool, and the scorpion wastes no time in stinging him to death. Dandin finishes off Skrabblag mere moments later, commenting that "evil destroyed evil, and good triumphed." | |

Prehistoric Park Reimagined: Pulmonoscorpius are amongst the animals rescued for the titular park. And while not evil or any more aggressive than any modern scorpion, they are noticeably played for suspense in their introductory scene and noticeably prove a source of great trepidation for Leon (who admittedly does at that point feel generally unnerved around many invertebrates). | |

Dark Sun has several examples. The Mastyrial comes in two versions. The Desert variety is six feet long with a sonar sense that can detect invisible enemies, pincers and tail that can inflict lethal damage, a tough shell that gives immunity to blunt weapons and the ability to quickly regenerate damage. The Black version is smaller (three feet long) and does less damage, but hunts in packs and has psionic abilities that allow them to lure their victims closer and attack them. The Scorpian also has two versions. The Barbed type is 8-12 feet long, covered with barbs that damage anyone that attacks it from close range, and its attacks do massive damage. The Gold is much smaller (1-2 feet long) but still does tremendous damage with its sting. |

RWBY: The Deathstalker, an armored scorpion the size of several vans. The first one we see takes the combined efforts of four main characters to bring it down. RWBY: Amity Arena makes for a different kind of "Scary": the Baby Deathstalker is much smaller than the one in the show, but it's a whole swarm with really quick attack, and thus can destroy what's on their path in the blink of an eye. Tyrian Callows, a Scorpion Faunus with a poisonous stinger that serves as Salem's primary enforcer and assassin. A Serial Killer that terrorized multiple kingdoms, he worships Salem as a literal goddess and takes great pleasure in serving her in whatever way she desires. Even the other members of Salem's group consider him disturbing, with Tyrian just as eager to torment his "allies" as his enemies when given the opportunity. Insane and melodramatic as he is, Tyrian is far more cunning and intelligent than he seems — able to manipulate his victims and psychologically torment them before ending their lives. Inspired by the fable, "The Scorpion and the Frog", Tyrian is a sadist capable of turning the tables on the unwary, even when seemingly captured and helpless. |

Giant Scorpions exist in Puzzle Quest, where their major abilities are (a) hiding (letting them do double damage until you damage them out of hiding) and (b) poisoning you. However, once you've clocked three of them, you can capture and tame one to act as your steed (no access to the poison, but you do get their Hide ability). | |

Xiaolin Showdown: One episode was actually about Kimiko accidentally setting an evil scorpion demon named Sibini free after accidentally smashing a Shen Gon Wu called the "Mosaic Scale" (also Sibini's supposed prison) to pieces, and as a result, she and her partners had to put it back together again before Sibini wreaked havoc upon the entire world. Another episode featured a Shen Gon Wu called the "Emperor Scorpion", which actually served as some sort of mind-control device. |

Warcraft's conjurers had the ability to summon scorpions. They make a reappearance in Warcraft 3 under the name of Arachnathid and covered in fur, in the polar regions for some reason. Giant scorpions also make a reappearance in World of Warcraft, this time called Scorpids. Hunters can tame them as pets. There are also regular sized scorpions as critters in some areas, and one scorpion non-combat pet, and now a scorpion mount. The arachnathids have inexplicably disappeared. Fire scorpions appear in the Firelands, and Druids of the Flame can transform into them. The Iron Juggernaut in the Siege of Orgrimmar resembles a scorpion. Its claws have a drill and buzzsaw on them, and there is a laser mounted on its tail. Skorpyron, the first boss of the Nighthold, is a massive arcane scorpion with magical powers. |

Dark Souls II has Scorpioness Nakja, an Expy of Quelaag from the first game. Nakja has the upper body of a woman, but it's attached at the waist to the head of a giant, two-tailed scorpion. There is also Manscorpion Tark, a similar blend of man and scorpion, but despite his intimidating appearance, he's completely friendly and you can hold a conversation with him. In fact, it's even possible to summon him to help you against Nakja (he's her ex-husband, and he considers her to have gone insane and wishes to prevent her from harming anyone else). | |

Pathfinder: The game has several varieties of giant scorpions, with some getting dangerous enough to go toe-to-toe with 15th level characters. There are also Skullrippers, scorpion-like constructs that have a tendency to decapitate people and add their skulls to their bodies. The herald of Norgorber, the Neutral Evil god of thieves, poisoners and murderers, is a giant metallic scorpion known as the Stabbing Beast. It's a ferocious predator and enjoys tracking and killing targets — as, like all planar creatures, it has no need to eat, this is apparently just for the sake of killing — and is primarily called to the material plane to spread death and mayhem. The demon queen Aldinach is associated with scorpions and takes on the form of a gigantic human-headed scorpion. She inhabits a layer of the Abyss resembling a vast desert and is able to command ordinary and monstrous scorpions. Pathfinder's second edition now has magma scorpions, which are Exactly What It Says On The Tin. |

Council Wars: East of the Sun, West of the Moon features giant, genetically engineered scorpions being dispatched after our heroes multiple times. During the story's climax, it is revealed that the scorpions can function in space and that they shoot acid from their tails. Worth noting, their first attack happens off-screen, and the heroes investigating after the fact only find a partial remnant, sans tail, leading them to initially assume they were giant solifugaenote AKA "Camel Spiders", a lesser-known member of the arachnid family that resembles a giant spider instead, in defiance of Small Reference Pools. | |

Dungeons & Dragons had large, huge and giant scorpions. Trobriand's and Scaladar Automatons are sometimes made in the shape of giant scorpions. Dark Sun has several examples. The Mastyrial comes in two versions. The Desert variety is six feet long with a sonar sense that can detect invisible enemies, pincers and tail that can inflict lethal damage, a tough shell that gives immunity to blunt weapons and the ability to quickly regenerate damage. The Black version is smaller (three feet long) and does less damage, but hunts in packs and has psionic abilities that allow them to lure their victims closer and attack them. The Scorpian also has two versions. The Barbed type is 8-12 feet long, covered with barbs that damage anyone that attacks it from close range, and its attacks do massive damage. The Gold is much smaller (1-2 feet long) but still does tremendous damage with its sting. In 3rd Edition scorpions can grow up to 80 feet long. |

Mortal Kombat: Surprisingly, even if he's named after the creature, Scorpion isn't really heavily based on the trope, although his signature kunai on a rope can be considered as his equivalent of the namesake's stinger tail in form and works like a scorpion's pincer claws (holding his victims in the most preferred place). However, he CAN turn into a literal giant scorpion for a Fatality. | |

Battle for Wesnoth: giant blue scorpions are commonly used as neutral critters, unavailable for hire. They can be pretty dangerous in combat, attacking with either several strikes of their pincers or a single, venomous stinger strike, but lack any form of ranged combat.

The Legend of Zelda: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Arurodas are blue-colored scorpions with cyclopean eyes that shoot fireballs at Link from their tails. The eye is the weak point, but Link has to wait until it opens to hit it, or else his sword attacks will ricochet. These enemies are found exclusively on East Hyrule, specifically the southeast region of the map housing the last two towns (both named Kasuto), as well as the last two dungeons, in the game. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Moldarach is a positively humongous scorpion that dwells in the sands of the Lanayru Mining Facility's rotunda. Its most notable features are the eyes that are within its pincers. Another is fought as a Degraded Boss in the Lanayru Shipyard later in the game. |

Fallout: Gigantic, radiation-mutated scorpions are a mainstay of the games. In the first two games, they essentially make for an early game nuisance/slight challenge. In the third game as well as New Vegas, the regular variety is still a nuisance, though the giant ones may serve as a legitimate threat, having no head to target for additional damage and being faster then the player, hardly slowed down at all by crippled legs. Then the Broken Steel DLC gave us the albino radscorpion, every bit as big and fast as a regular giant radscorpion, but harder to see from a distance, having a much higher damage potential, and being durable enough to take a nuke on the chin and keep on going as if nothing happened (and this is not an exaggeration), regenerating all the while, being one of the DLC's three bosses in mook's clothing. Fallout: New Vegas: There's a radscorpion queen who is extraordinarily difficult. Tough, fast, lots of damage, and fought in extremely close quarters so that escaping damage is impossible. You fight her along with a couple of her kids, too, just for extra hurt. The Old World Blues DLC has Dr. Mobius' Robo-Scorpions that can shoot Frickin' Laser Beams, with a Giant version as a boss. And by Giant, we mean Giant. Fallout 4 radscorpions are not your old radscorpions. These radscorpions have no small variants, and the weakest of them is at LEAST the size of a bear, and armored to boot. They can also now burrow and pop up right in melee range. And then you get a horrifying close-up of their high-def character models as they sting you in the face for a huge amount of poison damage. |

Super Mario Bros.: In Donkey Kong '94, Mario encounters indestructible scorpion enemies called Scorpy in the desert stage, which will cause him to lose a life should he touch them. Mario's doppelganger Wario has faced scorpion enemies on occasion, typically found in desert areas. Wario Land: Shake It! features Flipstings, who keep their stingers arched over their backs and are thus immune to jump attacks. Wario World has Big Scorpers, which attack by lashing with their stingers. |

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Arurodas are blue-colored scorpions with cyclopean eyes that shoot fireballs at Link from their tails. The eye is the weak point, but Link has to wait until it opens to hit it, or else his sword attacks will ricochet. These enemies are found exclusively on East Hyrule, specifically the southeast region of the map housing the last two towns (both named Kasuto), as well as the last two dungeons, in the game. | |

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: At one point, the kids are attacked by a scorpion after taking shelter in a LEGO brick. Anty, an ant they befriended earlier that day, tries to save them and succeeds, though at the cost of its life, buying the kids enough time to get their act together and drive the beast off with their torches and sharpened sticks. Of course in this case, since scorpions are predators, a scorpion really would be scary and dangerous if you'd been shrunk down to the size of an insect. | |

Actual scorpions also make an appearance, as the Dune Scorpion appears as a Mini-Boss, also in the Lost Sands. Not only it's a vicious, violent predator, but it manages to nearly kill Leif just when the team presumed it to be dead. In the Giant's Lair, the Roaches who live there also managed to tame scorpions as pets, even noting they are very tame when compared to the Dead Landers, much to the heroes' disturbance. | |

Naturally, her teammates all object to her opening the box before she has a chance to. In "Sunny Sides Add Up", Olando's Ancient Headquarters, situated in the middle of the Sahara Desert, has a large scorpion as a booby trap. It sits at the bottom of the chasm and tries to capture those who swing over the chasm by using its tail as pincers. |

Dragon's Crown has cat-sized Scorpions as a common enemy encounter. They're small enough that several attacks whiff over them, but their poison still packs a punch. In fact, the art book mentions that Elves harvest their poison for their poisoned arrows and daggers.

Pokémon: Gligar and Gliscor cross this trope with Bat Out of Hell. Gligar, at least, has a tendency to fly straight at its targets' faces and clamping on tight before injecting them full of poison. Skorupi is a fairly straight example, ambushing prey while hiding below the sand with its poison sting at the ready, but its evolution Drapion is an interesting subversion. It's stated to have a very bad reputation due to its aggressive nature, but according to some of its Pokedex entries it actively avoids using poison in combat, preferring to fight with its claws and great physical strength. Which, incidentally, is how larger scorpion species tend to hunt in real life. Kincaid, The Dragon of the local villain team in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, uses the Gligar and Scorupi lines exclusively, even both at the same time in one downloadable mission. |

His fighting style revolves around high kicks that can paralyze an opponent, a powerful grip, and the use of hidden throwing darts. He is also the most mysterious character in the film, as unlike the other four Venoms, we don't learn his secret identity until the climax of the movie. | |

The Pearl, by John Steinbeck: The plot is set of by Kino's infant son Coyotito being stung by a scorpion. A normal-sized one, but in Kino's mind it's depicted as an evil song playing overtop of and drowning out the happy song of his family. | |

Legend of the Five Rings: The Scorpion Clan is known for being equal parts Guile Hero, Lawful Evil, and I Did What I Had to Do. (Amusingly, one of the Clan's major families subverts the Folklore entry above — in their version of the tale, the scorpion reveals at the end that he can swim. Hence that family's motto: "I can swim.") | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy X has Sinspawn Gui and its Palette Swap Ultima Buster, which bear distinct resemblances to scorpions. They both have multiple pairs of legs, large arms positioned like a scorpion's pincers, and a long "tail" that arches over their back like a scorpion's tail. However, this "tail" doesn't end in a stinger, it ends in a second head. This second head can poison your characters, likely referencing the scorpion's sting. Final Fantasy XV has the reapertails, reaperkings and saphyrtails. Their attacks can ignore the player's Vitality stat. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest features scorpions as a tough early-game enemy. They don't first appear in the Shifting Sand Land, but in Slippy-Slidey Ice World. |

Magic: The Gathering: Unlike most "regular" animals, which tend to be Green (the color of the natural world), scorpions are almost exclusively Black (the color of rot, decay and amorality). They usually get deathtouch (meaning they destroy any creature they deal any damage to) or some way to weaken enemy creatures or players by means such as poison counters. | |

In The Fairly OddParents! episode "Mr. Right", Timmy wishes he was always right and comes across Francis to state that a scorpion is behind his back. The scorpion appears out of nowhere and stings Francis in the palm, causing his hand to swell up in size. Francis eventually gets back at Timmy in the end with a jar full of scorpions, as well as a wasp nest and a female wrestler (the former two Timmy has wished to use against Francis prior to the scene). | |

Geneforge has giant scorpion monsters called clawbugs which are available to the player as Mons and commonly show up as early mid-game enemies, usually inhabiting areas of desert and blasted wasteland. Since the premise of the series includes mage-scientists tinkering with life forms, they show up in several varieties; normal clawbugs, venomous stinging clawbugs, extra-fast plated bugs, and Boss in Mook Clothing clawbug queens. | |

Graham encounters a scorpion in King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!. Despite being significantly smaller than the one Valanice comes across, it's also far more deadly, resulting in an instant death as soon as you reach the screen it shows up on (whereas Valanice's giant scorpion rather courteously gives you some time to deal with it before attacking). | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic CD has Sasori, a robotic scorpion that inhabits Quartz Quadrant Zone and attacks by shooting lasers from its tail. In Sonic Spinball, the boss of the first level, Toxic Caves, is Scorpius, a giant robotic scorpion with Robotnik's face and a tail that sprays poisonous goop to attack with. Sonic and Knuckles has Skorp, a robotic scorpion that inhabits Sandopolis Zone. Sonic 3D Blast has Scorpy, a robotic scorpion that inhabits Volcano Valley Zone. A non-robotic example in Sonic Adventure; Chaos 6 takes on the form of a bloated scorpion who stings Sonic, Knuckles, and Big with his tail. Sonic Chronicles: Another non-robotic example. One of the missions to collect the devices in Chapter 3 has the player save a young boy from two giant scorpions. They have poison attacks, cannot be fleed from, and are generally tough opponents for how early they appear in game. |

Spider-Man: Mac Gargan/The Scorpion from Marvel Comics, of course. He was created — with funding from J Jonah Jameson, no less — to take out Spider-Man, and actually trounced Spidey in their first fight. He's been mostly B-list since then, however, eventually ditching the Scorpion suit entirely to become the new Venom, but then when the symbiote was given to Flash Thompson, he took up his old identity again. He had a female sort-of-Legacy Character, Carmilla Black, but she's been rarely seen since he retook the Scorpion mantle. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has an Emperor Scorpion as an edible animal during the mountainside section of the game, though it provides little stamina and in any case Snake hates the flavour. Sadly, they're also depicted as being capable of killing Snake when they sting him, despite the fact that Emperor Scorpion venom isn't fatal to humans. That said, this makes them a pretty decent (if lethal — remember the Pacifist Run option) Improvised Weapon if you capture one alive and throw it at an enemy. | |

Animal Crossing: Beginning with Animal Crossing: Wild World, scorpions appear as collectible bugs. Unlike most bugs, they're aggressive and will attack you if you move rapidly around them, but you can catch them if you're quick or sneaky. If you're not quick, fortunately, they just knock you out and cause you to wake up in front of your house. Villagers will panic on seeing them and will sweat nervously until either the scorpion is caught or it despawns. | |

Jafar says it is the perfect counter to Hercules, because of its incredible speed. Fortunately, Hercules anticipated this and he and Aladdin had disguised themselves as each other.

No More Heroes: The first game has a minigame where Travis has to scoop up scorpions while avoiding stings. Their speed and agility will be determined by their color, with the blue ones being the hardest (but also the most valuable score-wise). It's recommended to only play this minigame if you've unlocked the sprint skill. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle brings back the scorpion hunt minigame from the first game; scorpions are also enemies in some of the 8-bit retro minigames, serving as mooks. No More Heroes III: There's an overworld-wide Collection Sidequest where Travis has to capture scorpions and take them to a sushi kiosk close to his motel room. These scorpions are dangerous, because a sting will cause Travis to faint and respawn in his motel, very far from the place where he found the scorpion (and said scorpion will also change its location, so geting back to where Travis first found it will be a waste of time). |

King's Quest: Graham encounters a scorpion in King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!. Despite being significantly smaller than the one Valanice comes across, it's also far more deadly, resulting in an instant death as soon as you reach the screen it shows up on (whereas Valanice's giant scorpion rather courteously gives you some time to deal with it before attacking). In King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride, Valanice is attacked by a giant scorpion. |

Scorpia from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a subversion: she's a big, muscular scorpion-woman with pincers and a stinger tail, working for the evil Horde, but she has such a nice, affable personality that she barely qualifies as a villain. (She even defects to the side of good!) She can still put up a fight, though. Played straight when Scorpia is chipped by Horde Prime—turns out that with her free will and personality being overridden by a narcissistic maniac, her strength and lightning powers make her actually kind of scary. It's still downplayed, though—she doesn't speak or change facial expressions while chipped (unlike Micah and Spinnerella, who seem to display much more sadism and/or creepiness when under Prime's control), and she manages to subtly resist Prime's control more often than other chip victims. | |

Crixalis, the Sand King, from Dota 2, was meant to be an Anthropomorphic Personification of the desert, but he took the form of a scorpion because scorpions are found in the desert commonly and his old model was a scorpion-ish Nerubian from Warcraft III. He's more about burrowing, but his stinger tail contains venom that will make those infected by it explode messily when they die as shown in his skill Caustic Finale. It's the least of your worries when it comes to Sand King. | |

Pokémon: The Series has a subversion in Ash Ketchum's Gligar (later Gliscor) during the Sinnoh arc. Not that Gligar generally look too menacing to begin with, but this one has such a tendency towards Tender Tears and The Glomp with its trainer that it's borderline impossible to be the slightest bit intimidated, even when it evolves into its more threatening-looking final form. On the other hand, Ash's Rival during the same arc, Paul, has a Gliscor who is more threatening, and a Drapion who can be downright terrifying. The trope is played even straighter with the Drapion who is owned by Pokémon Hunter J, which is just as ruthless and sociopathic as its trainer. | |

Clash of the Titans (1981): Medusa's blood causes normal scorpions to become giants. In Clash of the Titans (2010), there are still massive killer scorpions but it's caused by the blood of Calibos, who has been given godly powers by Hades. The scorpions seem to be better at the job than Calibos was. The scorpions kill two Argosian soldiers (as opposed to Calibos's four), but they tend to make more of an impression, being, you know, giant scorpions. They also make good mounts, once they are tamed. | |

Uchu Sentai Kyuranger zig-zags this with Stinger/Sasori Orange, a Human Alien from the Scorpio system, who is reclusive like scorpions are in Real Life, albeit for different reasons. He's certainly a fearsome opponent, but also one of the Kyurangers out to free space from the Jark Matter Shogunate and a Friend to All Children. On the other hand, he started out opposing the team and Champ/Oushi Black believes that Stinger killed his creator and mistrusts him for this reason. note This turns out to be a misunderstanding as Stinger actually tried to save Professor Anton and didn't care about explaining himself to anyone. The true killer is his brother. Played straighter with Stinger's older brother, Scorpio, who's top assassin of Jark Matter. | |

The doctors at Rampart Hospital found a wound like an insect bite or sting under her armpit, but what could have stung her there? Gage connected the wound with what she had been doing: getting dressed using clothes from her recent trip to Mexico. A scorpion had somehow gotten into her suitcase and hid in a dress; when she put the dress on, the scorpion stung her. | |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Shia LeBeouf's character gets stung on the arm by a scorpion. He immediately flips out and screams that it was huge. Indy calmly tells him "Good, it's the small ones that kill you." | |

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: the debut of Leona has her attacked out of the blue by a titanic scorpion monster who's much bigger and more menacing than any other monster dwelling on the island: the beast poisons the princess and takes a well-aimed strike to the back of its shell to be defeated. Turns out, Bishop Temujin and his associate brought the monster to the island specifically to get rid of Leona. | |

Terraria has giant Sand Poachers that appear in the Underground Desert during Hardmode, which are capable of climbing walls at very fast speeds and are capable of inflicting the Acid Venom debuff whenever they hit the player. Regular non-giant scorpions appear as well, but they're a subversion since they just wander around and are completely incapable of harming the player. | |

Scorpions in the Transformers franchise are more often than not threatening antagonists: The name "Scorponok" is synonymous with a villainous robot who transforms into a scorpion, though the level of threat ranges from a Predacon goon to a Humongous Decepticon leader. Beast Wars has Quickstrike, whose beast mode is a scorpion...with a cobra for a tail! |

Fighting Fantasy: Giant scorpions are a recurring threat, showing up in Scorpion Swamp (naturally), Magehunter, Curse of the Mummy, Bloodbones and the largest of the lot, from Deathtrap Dungeon. The latter from Dungeon has two attacks simultaneously (given it has a Skill of 10, it can inflict double the damage on players with ease) and a stinger tail that inflicts a One-Hit Kill by rolling a double-twelve. Luckily that scorpion is a Skippable Boss, where players can battle the much easier Minotaur instead. | |
