Tomb scorpions are powerful creations of the Mortuary Cult, formed from a combination of stone, metal, wood and fused bone. Burrowing beneath the surface of the desert, they attack suddenly and without warning, exploding into the fray in a shower of sand. They are lethal foes, for a tomb scorpion's tail carries a potent sting that can incapacitate the largest foes, and they have powerful pincers that can crush a man into bloody paste.
