The Scorpius Rex is truly one ugly looking creature, so ugly that even their mothers don't love them. But, the Scorpius is a truly terrifying creature not because it is ugly, but rather because it is unseen during an attack. The Scorpius is unable to be fooled by the darkness of night or disguises, it tracks its prey through infrared vision, it sees its prey's heat signature rather than by typical sight. The Scorpius packs a very unique surprise if its prey does survive its initial attack, a deadly neurotoxin in its tail spines that is nearly 100% fatal in humans if not treated with medical intention, the toxin is quick acting and causes respiratory failure and eventually cardiac arrest. Larger creatures with tougher skin seem to fare better against the toxin, especially Sinoceratops, which seems to only get sleepy when envenomated, and can be cured if the spines are merely removed. |
