Pterygotus is a monster in the Dragon Quest series. It is a stronger version of the armoured scorpion.

Characteristics[edit]

Red raging giant scorpions that sting and swipe adventurers with their massive barbed beastly tails. Despite the venom stashed in their stinging tails, they never actually poison or intoxicate their enemies, instead relying on sheer strength to win battles.
