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.
