===Origin===
Skorupi is likely based on a {{wp|scorpion}}. It has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}}, a similar arachnid. Its {{egg|Water 3}} Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as {{wp|Eurypterid|sea scorpions}} that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.
