Vispericulum Sand Scorpion

Overview
Scorpions are within the ranking of insect, if not higher. They can poison, slash, and silently scurry. Their jaws can chew through almost anything, from other insects to cacti. Though deserts are rare, this scorpion sure knows how to defend it.

Daily Life
Deserts are hard to find. This is because many creatures only eat ground up minerals - exactly what deserts are made of. The few desert creatures that exist fight hard to maintain the existence of their habitat. This scorpion has deadly poison, serrated claws, swift thin legs, and tough skeletons. Confused? Due to the size of the scorpion, it has both an internal and outer skeleton. Its tail can stretch to stab prey, sometimes skewering weak creatures like a kebob. The serrated claws prevent escape. This creature is not selfish, though, as it is willing to give up its life to protect its biome. It has been seen hacking away at trees just to protect a tiny desert mammal.

Adaptations
