- A gigantic insect with huge pincers and a poisonous barbed tail. It is found in the savage lands.
The Giant Desert Scorpion is a very high-value creature commonly found in deserts. As opponents, they are equivalent to 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 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 tame Giant Desert Scorpions can potentially be purchased from Elven caravans. Stuffing a cage with twenty scorpions and releasing them all at once during an invasion is a joyous sight. Unfortunately, they cannot be bred, so filling that cage will take a very long time (especially considering that they'll also be dying of old age).

Closest thing I've got to a neurotoxin is making the brain and spine rot. Stay out of the savage deserts!
