Scorpion

A giant scorpion in a green field reaches its right front claw forward to strike Gorath's knee. Ths scorpion is a segmented arachnid with a grayish matte black carapace, a long flat body, two large front claws, and a long segmented tail which curls upward and features a bright red barb at the end. In the background, the body of a second scorpion is partly visible behind Owyn.

Scorpions are dangerous giant arachnids in Betrayal at Krondor. They can first be encountered in Chapter 1.

Overview

Giant scorpions usually appear in mineshafts or in the Dimwood. Some, but not all, have poisonous stings.

Though their bodies can be searched after death, they carry no inventory items.

In Battle

Scorpions take double damage from Fetters of Rime.[1]

Trivia

  • The magical scorpions around Ockie's house are not illusions, but their bodies disappear after the battle ends.
  • Due to the size of scorpions' sprites, it can be difficult to see the combat square which marks their position in order to attack them.
  • In the manual, Cowboy Mike is credited as the game's "Spider/Scorpion Wrangler."
