Description: Scorpions can be the scourge of dry, warm regions, though some species of this venomous vermin can be found in cold, wet climes. However, the common forms of these arachnids are mere precursors to spellbred scorpions, which can appear as tiny stinging pests one moment, and the next, as monstrous creatures whose stingers can kill a victim in a heartbeat. Even when grown to full size, legendary scorpions make their spellbred cousins seem miniature.
