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.
