Description

With a tiny head and a long body, the Scorpion's hide is covered with thin layer of chitin that provides protection against physical assault, but its internal organs are quite fragile. They generally prefer the solitary life of the hermit or bookkeeper, accumulating vast libraries of forbidden books.

Ideally, a Scorpion finds a leader who is susceptible to flattery - then they become the leader's personal advisor and confidant, until eventually the leader can't make a single decision without the Scorpion's help. The most insidious tap into unholy powers as a means to their ends, thus becoming one of the 'Five Poisonous Vermin' against the state.

(Note: The Scorpion “Sting” attack uses Body, Brawling, Species, and Strength. It causes Damage +1 Impaling and can be used with the Venom Gift.)
