Dune Scorpion
Level 5+Like a real scorpion, it would glow blue-green under an ultraviolet lamp. Read the tale
Field notes
Real scorpions glow blue-green under ultraviolet light. This one sweeps its tail wide: back off when it rises.
Where it lives
Sunscorch Desert, in Dunes, Oasis. Seen from level 5. Its level depends on where you meet it: at home, how far from the village you are; on the other lands, that land's band, lowest near the harbour side. It is stronger at night. Stronger ones are called Murky Dune Scorpion (level 15+), Deep Dune Scorpion (level 40+), Elder Dune Scorpion (level 80+).

Its attack: the claw sweep. It is steady (wind-up 0.8 s, then 2.2 s before the next).
Dune Scorpions are weak to ice and energy but shrug off fire. Watch for their claw sweep: stay behind them, and back away when the steam starts to hiss. Their hits slow you down, so keep your distance.
Its hits slow you down (30% for 3 s).
