The Scorpion is the scourge of the desert, both vengeful and deadly. It will sting anything that threatens it, and has been known to follow caravans and kill those who have destroyed its home or threatened it. It will crawl into clothes, turbans, packs, or bedrolls, and there wait patiently. It is often used by assassins, either by placing it where a victim will be stung, or by extracting its deadly poison for use in arrows and daggers.
