The Scorpion and Black Scorpion are harmless critters that are most commonly found in a Desert. For detailed spawning conditions, see Notes.

Scorpions have only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

Scorpions can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Scorpion/Black Scorpion Cage). Once crafted, the Scorpions cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Scorpions can be used as bait for fishing, with 10% (regular) / 15% (black) bait power.

Scorpions can be spawned by the Scorpion Statue, however statue-spawned critters cannot be caught with any Bug Net, and will disappear in a puff of smoke when the player attempts to do so.
