Skorpion

A Nest of Skorpions

Skorpions insectoid fauna of Coda. It is unknown whether they are found outside Bastion and Mirrus because they were created in a cataclysm brought forth by an unstable relic that was being studied by Arcanists of Anshar.

Skorpions are carnivorous pests that use their inherent organic acid to damage their prey and feed on them. Their acid is so corrosive that it can melt through toughest of armor. Their acid is also known to have a very unpleasant smell.

"I refuse to believe those vile things were conceived and shaped here. My brain conjures images of some blasted nightmare where blackened plains are home to endless hordes. A chitinous sea spreads in a poisonous wave across a dead world. The sky is dark and cracks with endless lightning and rainless storms. They call this damned place home, and pity the lost traveler that stumbles upon it." —From "I Beckoned the Stranger" by Mentor Kurcer Attjax
