Useful Info

Scorpions are dangerous bugs with powerful poisonous stings. They are slightly more durable than worker ants, but much more capable of inflicting lethal amounts of poison damage. They can be found in the the early-to-mid portions of the Dungeon as well as the Spider's Nest.

Tips & Tricks

• Low-level characters without poison resistance should try to weaken or kill them at range however they can.
• Scorpions are vulnerable to poison themselves. Mephitic Cloud and Evaporate are very effective methods of handling them.
• Don't be afraid to use a potion of curing if you don't think you can wait out your poisoned condition.
• You can summon your own scorpions with the Summon Scorpions spell. Just be aware that they may not be loyal to you.
