Glass scorpion

The glass scorpion is a sub-species of scorpions that has evolved particularly due to its habitate. Contrarily to other kinds of scorpions, its legs are quite small compared to its overall size, and its tail is not their rimay means of defense. In fact, the use of its tail is quite impractical, as they can barely move upwards, although they can be twisted slightly to the sides. This is due to their exoskeleton being too rigid on the top to allow them such movements. Instead, they usually curl up in a ball, their carapace deviating most types of assaults.   Again unlike other scorpions, their dart is not part of the eoskeleton, but in fact a poisonous forked organ coming out of its shell. To use it, they must propell it at high velocity for it to jab into another creature. The poison is so strong, those creatures often drop dead on the spot. If they do not, and the scorpion has to flee, the grip of its tail may turn against it, ripping its internal organs apart, killing the scorpion instead.   For this reason, they use it as a last resort means of defence, if they are caught while trying to flee or their assaillant manages to damage its shell. Its clamps are usually its most effective weapon, as they are powerful enough to break most materials and can be be moved more easily. While curled up, the scorpion's tail can reach above its head for it to shoot its dart at an opponent. It is also mostly in this position they tend to eat, to be protected while doing so.

These scorpions are mostly found in places rich in minerals, like the Caverns of glass in which they have first been recorded and from which they take their name. It strengthen its clamps by crushing rocks with it.

While their diet is often composed of large insectoïd species, their food source can also vary depending of the region in which they live. In caves, they may hunt for lost buhir larvaes. In wooden areas, they can fight against foxes or badgers and eat them if they are victorious, or smaller animals and fey creatures. In some cases, they might even eat their own predators if they managed to kill them.
