It's been my experience that where there's one scorpion, there's more
post
Fun fact, scorpions are one of the earliest land creatures after animals moved from living in water.
And they could be 4ft long. Sea scorpions were much bigger. Sweet dreams!
I'm am a homebrew GM and worldbuilder so I will take all of the real world inspiration for deadly and dangerous fauna I can get :) My current favorite deadly fauna idea I've thought about recently is taking the utahraptor but as a huge modern avian raptor ie no longer a raptor dino but giant raptor bird. Basically a really scary chocobo at that point haha. But 4 feet scorpions are a fine addition to my collection >:)
What you're describing is the cassowary. It's a flightless bird that has a sword for a toe. And it instinctively knows where any animal's heart is, knowing precisely where to stab. And its head was clearly stolen from Jurassic Park.
Just look for images of cassowary feet and cassowary head.
Did you get over there?
Long before I was born, before my mom met my dad, when my mom was in college, she dropped out and fled the US. She ended up in Europe and met a man named Colin, whom she then married and with whom she got pregnant, then moved to Greece.
While in Greece and pregnant, she did not have access to indoor plumbing. Instead, she used an outhouse. According to her, she once got up in the middle of the night to make use of the facilities, started to head outside without a light, then thought better of it and grabbed a light. When she did, she was glad she did so, because there was apparently a large, terrifying scorpion on the doorknob she would have used to exit the residence.
She did not disclose to me how she handled the situation.
If it had been me I think the lack of plumbing would no longer be a barrier to shitting indoors
Presumably this is especially true while pregnant.
Having lived it twice, it's less about having your bowels crowded backward and more about having the whole uterine watermelon sitting on your bladder.
My step dad had the misfortune of having one hide in his pajama pants. Getting stung on the taint must have been awful
F, she's a biggun.
Edit: thanks for the bio lesson
She's.
Arachnid females are larger than the males and should be the default gender.
Charlotte, and her web, at Tenagra.
What a complete gentleman. Just chilling out in the open, no ulterior motives, sits still for his fitting appointment.
I choose to believe he donned a little top hat and walked out quietly
Dang. They show up in our houses here in (the US Southwest) but not usually that size. Unfortunately I have to kill them everytime I spot them cause of our dogs.
Did you lick it?
holy shit
did you die
No,it only looks dead. It was holding still to get measured.
I found a 2 inch scorpion in my shorts last year. Glad he wasn't a whopper like that big boy
Critters in shops and warehouses are always fun. It never fails, some big snake/spider/scorpion/etc moseys in, and there's one guy hiding in the break room until its gone and another guy taking pictures of it because it's cute.
