A Giant Desert Scorpion doing what it knows best.

The Giant Desert Scorpion is a very high-Template:L creature commonly found in Template:Ls. As opponents, they are equivalent to Template:L 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 Template:L 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 either dead or unconscious.

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 Template:L is present. Stuffing a Template:L with thirty scorpions and Template:L them all at once during an Template:L is a joyous sight.
