Can you really extract venom from the corpses? The 'extracts' page says that giant scorpion venom can only be imported. Which is right? --Sev 23:24, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

Do scorpions go after certain buildings first?[edit]
I ended up having a scorpion waltz into my base without anyone noticing. After surviving the stone fall traps at my entrance (admittedly my traps were only 2 rows deep)it proceeded to stroll past my Trade Depot and down the 1-tile wide path between my barracks and dining hall, again without anyone noticing. No one took any notice of the arachnid terror until it had walked into a room that I had set aside as an archery range and dismantled all of my archery targets. Anyways, I'm wondering if scorpions have a preference on targets as the one that made it into my fort ignored the Trade Depot, several doors and the beds, table, and chairs behind said doors as it proceeded straight to my archery range and destroyed archery targets. --Alkyon 08:35, 15 November 2008 (EST)

They can use weapons.[edit]
I just got killed by a G.D.S. who yanked my axe out of my hand and then hacked me to death with it.
