Giant scorpions are aggressive predators, sometimes as large as a donkey

Giant scorpions are quite large, sometimes as large as a donkey. They are aggressive predators and generally attack on sight. If a claw attack hits, the giant scorpion receives a +2 attack bonus with its stinger (but two claw hits do not give a double bonus). Those hit by the stinger must save vs. Poison or die. Giant scorpions are most commonly found in desert areas or caverns.

Huge arachnids, as big as a small horse, with pincers and deadly stingers. Dwell in caverns, ruins, and deserts.

Large, huge and giant scorpions are vicious, fearless predators found almost anywhere. Their usual tactic is to attack anything smaller than themselves. The scorpion will try and grab its prey with its huge claws then sting it to death with its tail. While its tail only does 1d4 points of damage the victim must save vs poison or die. The scorpion can use its attacks independently of each other on 3 different targets. Anything that the scorpion kills is taken back to its lair and consumed. It should be noted that the scorpion is not immune to its own poison; if it stings itself it could die.
