History

Corrupted Scorpios

When Aldous Witch was transformed into the Witch Doctor, he outfitted several of the Scorpios with corrupted Quaza Spikes as means of controlling them. One was used for protecting Witch Doctor.

A Scorpio under the command of Witch Doctor did battle with Stringer and Nex. It later chased them and Furno to the temple. Upon arriving, Furno managed to remove his Quaza Spike. Free from Witch Doctor's command over him, the Scorpio attacked Witch Doctor, intending on getting revenge. However, Witch Doctor forced a Raw-Jaw to attack the Scorpio. The both of them wrestled with each other until the Raw-Jaw gained the upper hand and threw the Scorpio down a chute.

Abilities and Traits

Scorpio are intelligent and dangerous creatures which are considered notoriously hard to find. Despite their large size, they enjoy crawling through tight spaces and stunning their prey by striking their stinger tails at lightning speed. Scorpio are also able to shoot projectiles from their tails in order to take care of distant prey without harming themselves.

Scorpio have thick spiked armor plating, which helps protect them from most predators.

Trivia
