Enormous Scorpion (Basic Lore)

Enormous Scorpion (CR 3)
Neutral - Medium - Vermin
The Enormous Scorpion is one of the myriad of monstrous vermin which infests the wilderness...although to be fair, they can be found far too easily in cities. Enormous Scorpions come in a variety of colors, and seem to grow such that they blend in with their environment. Scorpions on a tundra will be mottled greenish-brown, as will scorpions in woods. Desert-dwellers will be pale yellow, tan, and light brown. Glacier-dwelling scorpions will be dark to pale blue, with white markings. To everyones dismay, they also adapt well to city life, and mottled grey scorpions have been found in ruins world-wide, not to mention brown ones in sewers and caves everywhere. Regardless of their color, scorpions are efficient, dangerous vermin, who will use their huge pincers and deadly curled stinger to attack what they see as food without hesitation. Like their smaller cousins, Enormous Scorpions like to curl up and hide in cozy locations, and can be found in burrows beside a river, inside fallen logs or nestled under rotting stumps, or in a city, curled up in barrels (and finding a half-dozen of these awful things in an old well is a nightmare indeed).
