The '''Death scorpion''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in the original [[Dragon Quest|game]]. It is a powerful and lethal variety of the [[Scorpion]].


==Characteristics==
Death scorpions are [[Bug family|arachnid]]s with a highly protective dull pink exoskeleton that safeguards their reddish undersides. In their original appearance, the scorpions had teal-coloured exoskeletons protecting a red underside. This colour scheme would not be reused until both ''Monster Parade'' and ''Keshi Keshi''. In later games, the scorpions gained the ability to inflict poison and even instantly kill with their deadly stings, true to their moniker.


==Appearances==
==={{Dragon Quest}}===
Death scorpions are the strongest scorpion in the original game. They have high Attack and Defence, which makes them challenging even with their relatively low HP.

Originally a blue-green color, the Rogue Scorpion is changed to a more natural color in the remakes.
==={{DQ10}}===
Death scorpions began appearing in Version 6.0 of the game. They are much stronger than their previous appearances, being able to act twice per turn, perform spinning attacks, and can inflict either [[Poison Attack|poison]] with their attacks or kill instantly with [[Assassin's Stab]].
