{{Lore}}
An enormous insect, with the appearance of a scorpion. The giant scorpion is one of several species of giant insects bugs native to the Mazes, and one of four that are arachnids rather than insects. It appears to be an enormous version of the ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabian_fat-tailed_scorpion androctonus crassicauda]''. They average at 4 feet in height, and are typically 5 feet 5 inches in length with the tail at rest, though they can reach 6 feet 3 inches with the tail fully extended. On average, these creatures weigh 50 to 65 lbspounds.
Giant scorpions are as dangerous as their size and species imply. With larger stingers come larger quantities of venom, which turns out to be fairly potent. It is advised to keep [[Meds|antivenom]] at the ready if you are expecting to encounter one (or several) of these fearsome creatures.
Their bodies are covered with thick layers of chitinous armor, rendering them partially bullet-resistant. Many types of projectiles have been observed visibly stopping and flattening on their bodies. It is recommended to use some type of armor-piercing bullet, or failing that, an overall more powerful caliber, in order to properly deal with these creatures. Adventurers facing giant scorpions regularly recommend attacking as soon as possible so as to not give them a chance to hit back with their venomous stingers.
Like all members of the '''Bugs''' category, the origin of these creatures is unknown. Because they lack any magical or supernatural elements, it has been theorized that these creatures are the result of some type of past scientific experiment gone wrong, and that they have since escaped into the UA and become a species native to the Uncivilized Area.
