Scorpyros are large arachnids that resemble giant scorpions, but have one large eye, like a ghoma's, which takes up most of the front portion of its body.
Its entire body, including its eyelid, has a Penetration Resistance of 4, rendering it nearly invlulnerable when its eye is closed. It will generally open its eye to see where its prey is, and then close its eye to attack.
It attacks in one of two ways, either by rushing foreward and tearing at it with its sharp forearms at Attack 11 with its eye open or 7 with its eye closed, or by firing a fireball from its tail. This fireball has a Penetration Factor of 3 an Attack of 15, and a Range Multiplier of 3, assuming the eye is open. When it closes its eye, it loses 3 Attack Points for each turn it is closed, until it opens it again, and reaquaints itself with its surroundings. That is to say, after keeping its eye closed for 1 turn, its fireballs attack at 12; after 2 turns it attacks at 9; after 3 at 6, etc.; until it opens its eye again.
