+ | The '''Giant Desert Scorpion''' is a very high-[[value]] creature commonly found in [[desert]]s. As opponents, they are equivalent to [[Giant cave spider|Giant Cave Spiders]] in lethality, and may appear in groups of anything from one to three mayhem-minded individuals. Giant Desert Scorpions are predatory meandering killing machines. They will roam over long distances seeking prey, meaning they ''will'' eventually find your fortress and start stinging dwarves. | ||
− | + | Giant Desert Scorpions are capable of injecting a [[syndrome|neurotoxin]] which causes necrosis of the brain and nervous system, resulting in instant death once they completely rot. They cannot be stunned and feel no pain or fear. A wounded scorpion will never stop fighting until it is dead. | |
− | + | They are also famous for their ability to wrest the weapons you or your dwarves wield out of their hands (thanks to the UPPERBODY_PINCERS possessed by scorpions) and proceed to kill you with them. | |
− | + | The ''good'' news is that Giant Desert Scorpions can be tamed once a [[Dungeon master]] is present. Stuffing a [[cage]] with thirty scorpions and [[lever|releasing]] them all at once during an [[siege|invasion]] is a joyous sight. | |
− | + | Like many exotic pets, Giant desert scorpions do not breed. This can easily be remedied/modded in by adding "[CHILD:3][GENERAL_CHILD_NAME:giant desert scorpling:giant desert scorplings]" to the Giant Desert Scorpion entry in the raws, found in the file creature_savage_tropical.txt | |
