Slowly, over the week, we will be releasing information about scorpions and adding them here. Once we have finished posting the information, we will open the forum for discussion. Please refrain from asking questions until we’ve finished sharing. Sharing is dependent upon release from QC, which is why we will be trickling the data.
Saddles – Yes, scorpions will be getting saddles. I should be able to tease these tomorrow. You can look for them in the shop called “Insurmountable”. Much like tortoises, there will be two varieties. In nature, they are Tehir or Faendryl in origin.
Scorpion Mounts – Sunscar Sanctum will house the 6 types of scorpions available. They are:
Common
a giant albino cave scorpion
a giant wastes scorpion
Uncommon
a sandfinger
a black jungle scorpion
a greater painted whiptail
Rare
a vecdrae scythir
I can’t thank GMs Auchand and Gyres enough for their efforts with the scorpions. We will announce rare ability soon.
Scorpion Worn Items – Claws and Effect is the name of the scorpion worn items. They can wear the following:
General Location
Tergite Plates – back
Cephalothorax – head
Tarsal Hooks – feet
Legs
Metasoma – tail
Please consider reading the lore about Elanthian Scorpions which was created by GMs Gyres, Warlock, Xynwen, and myself.
