Scorpion

The scorpion can only be found in the second area and usually spawns alone. Because of its small size it is difficult to spot.

Counting as small animal it can not be hit reliably with generic ranged weapons. Special weapons or melee attacks are recommended to take down the scorpion.

The scorpion's attack poisons the vicitim and deals half a heart of damage.

Behavior
Like all animals the scorpion roams its spawn area. It has a very limited view distance, but a large field of sight, allowing it to spot the player even when he is approaching from behind.

Once alerted the scorpion will move with average speed towards its victim and start using it's relatively ranged melee attack that poisons the victim when hit.

The scorpion will not attack other enemies, not even human enemies.

Tactics
Regular weapons have a high chance of missing the scorpion, special (e.g. Varmint rifle) or arrow weapons are much more likely to hit small animals like the scorpion.

Due to the scorpion's low health it is very easy to melee attack the scorpion to death. Most characters will kill the scorpion even without stealth takedowns in one melee hit.

When poisoned it's important to stop moving to reduce the amount of damage inflicted.

Trivia
Like all animals scorpions will not drop any ammo or weapon when killed.
