The '''Proboscis Scorpion''' is a herbivorous terrestrial ectothermic insectoid common to the Jungles and Highlands of Alpha and the Prairie of Beta.

The scorpion is about the size of a human palm, and possesses wings rendering it capable of short bursts of flight, as well as a sharp ovipositor that's sharp enough that, in a pinch, can be used as a weapon.

Female scorpions will store fertilized eggs for extended periods of time, until they can use their stingers to inject hundreds of eggs under the skin of a larger creature, where the young hatch and develop.

They begin their life as carnivorous larval creatures consisting of little more than powerful jaws, and begin eating their host from the inside out. Most of the time this will kill the host, though in the case of larger creatures it may simply deliver irreparable damage. They develop into their adult forms while inside the host, the final stage being losing their jaws and developing a proboscis/tongue, upon which they will burst out of the host. This host will serve as their first meal. After that, the Proboscis Scorpion will dine on grasses and the occasional Piranha Fly. Sometimes these creatures serve to groom others, becoming a welcome remedy to P. Fly infestations.
