{{ :honeyview_giantscorpionfinal.png?nolink&400|}}====== Giant Scorpion ======
A scorpion but is much larger than its normal counterpart. Pincers and a tail of numbing toxins make them formidable foes.

>//As you approach the overhang, you notice the pincer of a giant scorpion.// - Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2) 

Giant Scorpion venom, injected from its barbed tail, has a temporary paralyzing effect:

>//Instead, there is a massive, angry welt on its abdomen. The poor animal froths at the mouth, clearly the victim of some horrible venom.//

>//After a few more moments, the venom seems to wear off.// - Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2) 

|**Description:**|Stinging Arachnid|
|**Origin:**|Nalos|
