Biology
Skorupi resembles an over-sized, pale purple scorpion. Its claws and tail have been swapped, giving it two stingers and a claw tail. The miniature jaws, claws, and tail claws are white. Its arms are attached directly to its head, close to its teal eyes. A pointed marking joins its eyes. The head, arms, two tail segments, and all four legs are light blue, while the body, tail end, and other two tail segments are a darker shade of blue.
It buries itself in sand and lies in wait for unsuspecting prey, and grips prey with its tail claws, injecting poison; it will then hold on until the poison takes effect. Skorupi is found in deserts and dry areas like Reversal Mountain , though it can be found in marshy areas such as the Great Marsh .
