Pot Scorpion

The Pot Scorpion is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. This creature is similar to the Pot Spider in that it is an arachnid creature hiding inside a clay pot, but as well as its long legs it also sports scorpion pincers and a stinging tail.

The Pot Scorion appears as a special encounter at the Palace Gates in Agrabah. The encounter begins with twelve clay pots arranged in a square which Sora can break to collect Munny and Tech Points as well as a chance to gain a rare crafting item, the Mythril Stone. In order to get a 100 Tech Point bonus and possibly the Mythril Stone, Sora must break all eleven normal pots before fighting the Pot Scorpion. The pots appear identical, but Sora can discover which one is the Pot Scorpion by pushing the pots. The normal pots will move when pushed whereas the Pot Scorpion will not. However, Sora must not touch the Pot Scorpion with his Keyblade, otherwise it will wake and attack.

The Pot Scorpion is initially invulnerable to all attacks, but it becomes vulnerable after Sora uses Guard to deflect the creature's attacks. The Scorpion attacks by charging and also by jabbing with its tail. Sora can tell which attack is coming by the Pot Scorpion's actions: it will click its pincers when it is about to charge and will glow pink before it uses its poison attack. The Pot Scorpion can scatter poisonous goo around the area which will damage and stun Sora's party if touched, delaying their movements. When Guard is used at the right time, the Scorpion's attack will be deflected and the creature will briefly fall over, giving Sora the chance to attack and inflict damage until it gets back up.
