Scorpion (Starship Troopers)

The Arachnid Pulse Warrior, better known as the Scorpion, is an Arachnid variant from the Starship Troopers franchise. It appears in the film Starship Troopers 3.

Biology
The Scorpion appears very similar to the scorpions of Earth, although it only possesses four legs and a single large pair of pincers. It stands at 19 feet in height and 45 feet in length. Its body is covered with a thick armoured carapace that cannot be penetrated by the standard rifle rounds of Federation Mobile Infantry. Due to its thick armour, the Scorpion lacks speed and flexibility.

Abilities
The great pincers at the Scorpion's front are powerful enough to crush Mobile Infantry vehicles and snap them in two. For distant enemies, the Scorpion is capable of generating high-intensity plasma and firing blasts of such plasma from its tail to destroy enemy vehicles and encampments.
