Description

A monstrously large scorpion, usually found in the forests or in caves. They can be seen easily thanks to their high-profile tails.

  • Aggressive against everyone.
  • Appear to be stronger than a bear and Huge spider.
  • Appear to have good armour.
  • Fast attack speed.
  • Does stinging, clawing and biting damage.
  • Can sting 10dmg per hit on unarmoured bodyparts.
  • Moves slowly, can be outrun fairly easily even on grass.
  • Can't be tamed
  • Cannot swim
  • Butchering products include meat and cochineal
  • Spawns from a scorpion stone.

Notes

For anyone wondering how strong these creatures are, I tried attacking one with 16.34FS, full 50ql chain armour and dual 40ql longswords with 55/48 Flaming Aura cast on them. Just for reference, I can easily kill focused adolescent huge spiders and brown bears without going below 50% health.

I started attacking the scorpion, focused shortly into the fight, and died leaving it on bleeding(I didn't see the scorpion focus). I returned, gathered my stuff(it wasn't starving, and my copse was butchered, which would suggest that they butcher corpses near them), tried attacking it again(this time it had a 20dmg medium wound), I killed it but I only had 23% health. I'd suggest having 30+ FS with at least 30ql gear before trying to kill one, of course, the FS needed will go down with armour enchanted with Aura of Shared Pain and weapons enchanted with Flaming Aura.
