Emperor scorpion
Pandinus imperator
SPECIES OVERVIEW
Meet the beast of all beasts! Emperor Scorpions are one of the largest scorpions in the world. They are terrestrial and predominantly active in latter hours of the day.
Each scorpion has a highly venomous and dangerous stinger on the tip of its tail, capable of taking out nearly anything. The adults tend to rely more on their large destructive claws, to wreak havoc on their victims before consuming.
The females give birth to live young, which they carefully carry around on their backs protecting the younglings from the dangers that be.
​
Their playstyle can be quite challenging in the early days, but once you make it to adulthood there is no obstacle strong enough for the emperor to not consider diving into. Carnage and destruction are but a pincer slice away.
