This giant arachnid is commonly found in deserts, although they aren't found in large numbers, they are dangerous combatants. Like Giant cave spiders, they are capable of using a paralyzing poison. They also can't feel pain, so they cannot be stunned. On top of that they have excellent vision, so ambushing them is difficult[Verify].

However, they don't attack with their tail that often, which is their main poisonous attack, as they attack with their pincers mostly (which can latch). When they do latch with their pincers, that's when they will sting with their tails.

Their corpses can by used to extract paralyzing venom[Verify] (no use at the moment) and antidote to it (also, no use at the moment). Of course they can be sold to caravans. When butchered, they will leave no bones or skull and instead of leather they leave chitin.

Some frustrated Scorpions have been reported to be invading fortresses to destroy wooden constructs and their [BUILDINGDESTROYER:1] supports this claim. Due to the relative scarcity of wood in their biome, they end up going well out of their way to find wooden constructions to rip up; archery targets are a popular, er, target.
