Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and always ending with a stinger. The evolutionary history of scorpions goes back 435 million years. They mainly live in deserts but have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. There are over 2,500 described species, with 22 extant (living) families recognized to date. Their taxonomy is being revised to account for 21st-century genomic studies.
Ka-Zar of Prehistoria[]
Scorpions are one of a few modern species living in Prehistoria's savage world and they are known as Txampaysye by various primitive tribes across Prehistoria. Mostly they often roam the deserts of Pandora while some roam through Prehistoria's lush jungles. Scorpions are often small while some grow to the size of a human and would use their stingers to impale anything they feel as a threat.
