− | + | The '''giant desert scorpion''' is a high-{{L|value}} creature commonly found in {{L|desert}}s and although they aren't found in large numbers they are dangerous combatants. | |
+ | *They move extremely quickly and roam over long distances, meaning that even if you try and stay away from them, they will eventually find your fortress and start stinging people. | ||
+ | *They cannot be stunned because they feel no pain. | ||
+ | *They are capable of injecting a {{L|syndrome|neurotoxin}} which causes necrosis of the brain and nervous system, likely resulting in permanent paralysis followed by death from suffocation. | ||
− | + | <!-- verify that this is actually true - I don't think this was the case even in 40d! | |
+ | Their corpses can by used to {{L|extract}} giant scorpion venom* and an antidote* to it. As with all animals, they can be sold to {{L|caravan}}s. When {{L|butcher}}ed they will leave no {{L|bone}}s or {{L|skull}}, and the "{{L|hide}}" they will leave is called {{L|chitin}}, but can be processed the same as any {{L|leather}}. | ||

+ | Some frustrated scorpions have been reported to be invading fortresses to destroy {{L|wood}}en constructs and their <tt>[BUILDINGDESTROYER:1]</tt> supports this claim. Due to the relative scarcity of wood in their {{L|biome}} they often end up going well out of their way to find wooden {{L|construction}}s to rip up; {{L|archery target}}s have proven to be a popular, er, target. | ||
