Name: Cave Scorpion Rank: E Genus: Arachnid (Scorpion) Attribute: --- Traits: Scorpion

Description:

The Cave Scorpion is a common-to-find monster scorpion when trying to brave through..., guess what? CAVES!! As if you didn't already know that...

In all seriousness, the Cave Scorpion is quite a dangerous and adaptive foe. While this species is pretty bland, it can evolve to a Grotto Scorpion, gaining access to the Earth attribute and stronger skills that can be used in underground environments, or evolve to gain the other properties their living space may have. This allows Cave Scorpions to evolve into a selection of many different attributes, such as Shadow in case they live in caves with no light sources, Magma if they are underneath a volcano, or one of the various Metallic-category attributes.

Due to this species' wide variety of evolutions, "Scorpion Tamers" (as the people who tame and train scorpions popularly are called) often look to tame and evolve Cave Scorpions into many different species. The most popular ones are the Gem attribute variety and the Stellar attribute variety.

Appearance:

Cave Scorpions are large scorpions, around the size of a small cart, with dark-brown exoskeleton. There is nothing that makes them different from other scorpions outside the mentioned bigger size.

Abilities:

Danger Rank: E

Rarity Rank: E+

Cave Scorpions' biggest strength lies in their size. They can crush boulders with their claws and stingers, and this doesn't stop them from doing the same on some poor adventurer who gets lost in these scorpions' nests.

Other than their raw might, Cave Scorpions come up short in other categories. They lack the [Toxic] trait, making them not as efficient with poison as their siblings living in the desert or the mountains. They also have low magical abilities, so their brawn is all they can rely on. Get around this, and it will be somewhat easy to defeat Cave Scorpions.

Garami's comment: It seems like even the Feral Goblins have caught this "Scorpion Tamers" disease.

Bloom's comment: Luckily, it is easy for us to predict how they will evolve. Iron, Iron, and more Iron. Are they telling me to die!? (<- fairy-avatar + Iron attribute is super-effective against fairies)
