Scorpion, Cave

CR 1.00 Vermin N Medium

This man-sized, bulky scorpion has thick, unyielding armor that makes it almost seem to be made of stone.

Description

The squat cave scorpion is quite well suited for life in caves. With its bulky armor, a cave scorpion at rest looks like a pile of stones. The cave scorpion's favorite food is dwarven meat, and when a cave scorpion finds a working dwarven mine, it can quickly become a major inconvenience. Dwarven societies often post hefty bounties on cave scorpion stingers.
