Arid dune scavenging and desert critter capture
Found skittering across surface sand and sandstone dunes in Desert biomes, this dark arachnid appears during both day and night cycles. Players capture it from ground level using an ordinary Bug Net while navigating rolling desert dunes and oasis shorelines. Housing one inside a glass Terrarium crafts a Black Scorpion Cage, producing an animated terrarium display for desert outposts, pyramid shelters, and sandy pylon bases.
Bait effectiveness and vendor liquidation
Providing 15% bait power, this critter functions as basic fishing bait for pond and ocean angling trips. Because worms and dragonflies offer higher bait ratings, players frequently sell surplus scorpions to town merchants for 15 silver each. It shares identical bait strength with standard brown scorpions, serving as casual fodder when dedicated bait supplies run low during long desert exploration runs across vast arid wastes.
Trivia
- Spawns naturally on sand blocks within both surface and underground deserts.
- Can be combined with a Terrarium to create an animated vivarium display.
