Etymology and Anatomy

Soldiers gain their names Soldier (Someone involved chiefly in defense). Soldiers hatch from the eggs laid by a Swarm Tyrant. The plural of Soldier is Soldiers. When in groups, they are called a swarm.

Soldiers have a russet colored exo-skeleton and a gray abdomen.

Soldiers are hexa-pedal insectoid creatures. They have two mandibles and several sharp denticles in their mouth. It is unknown whether they have eyes. They don’t have tails, unlike other skorpions, but they have sizeable mandibles to bite their prey.

During Season of Skulls, Soldiers born will have a pale appearance and red glowing eyes. They behave like a normal Soldier but look eerie. They are referred to as mistborn skorpion or Mistborn Soldiers.

Soldiers, like all skorpions, first came to bastion through the cataclysm that destroyed the ancient Arcanist city of Anshar.

They are found in cold and dark places. Like other skorpions, they hatch when they sense enemies nearby. Their acid is said to corrode the thickest of javelin armor.

When encountered in the wild, they are found among other skorpion types such as Worker and Digester, and nests of Skorpion eggs.
