History

At some point, the Scorpio were created. They live in Quatros.

The corrupted Scorpio

Scorpio are notoriously hard to find on Quatros, but at least one male Scorpio was found by Witch Doctor, who implanted him with two corrupted Quaza spikes and used the Skull Staff to mind-control him. This Scorpio began serving and protecting Witch Doctor, though he hates doing so, but Witch Doctor mind-controlled him to do his bidding.^[FO:MSG]

The Scorpio, along with an enslaved female Waspix and an enslaved male Raw-Jaw, found three Alpha 1 Team members, William Furno, Julius Nex, and Jimi Stringer. The enslaved creatures were about to fight them when the Witch Doctor recalled them to do some duties for him, so they retreated.

The Scorpio and the Waspix attacked Furno, Nex, and Stringer when the three Heroes traversed the jungle on the way to the temple serving as Witch Doctor's base of operations.^{[Episode 6]} The Scorpio fought Nex and Stringer while Furno fought the Waspix. Nex and Stringer flipped the Scorpio over to the ground to stun him, making him struggle to stand. After the three Heroes freed the Waspix, the Scorpio finally got up and continued attacking the Heroes. He damaged Furno's eagle wing jets, preventing Furno from flying. The Heroes decided to run to the temple, but the scorpion gave chase, pursuing them all the way there. When Witch Doctor noticed the Heroes and Scorpio, he used the Skull Staff to recharge one of the Scorpio's Quaza spikes, keeping his control over the Scoprio. Furno was able to remove the the beast's active corrupted Quaza spike on his leg, freeing the Scorpio. The Scorpio was so happy to be freed that he accidentally knocked Furno off his back. He attacked the Witch Doctor, seeking revenge for his enslavement. Witch Doctor got overwhelmed by the Scorpio, so he directed the Raw-Jaw to fight the scorpion. After a brief battle, the Raw-Jaw eventually dispatched the Scorpio, tossing him off a ledge to the jungle floor.^{[Episode 7]} It is possible that this Scorpio still alive.^[C7] If there were more posessed Scorpio, then they would also have been freed from the Witch Doctor's control when the Skull Staff was taken from the Witch Doctor.
