The '''scorpion''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]]. It is the first arachnid to aggravate adventurers.

==Characteristics==
It is an enormous, man-sized [[Bug family|scorpion]] with a yellow carapace protecting its purple-coloured underside. Its carapace can make it tricky for novice adventurers to defeat, requiring them to invest in stronger weapons or defeat them with magic. In later games in the series, the scorpion gained the ability to inflict either [[Poison and Envenomation|poison]] or [[paralysis]] with its stinger tail, making them more of a nuisance.

Scorpions began appearing in Version 4.3 of the game, this time being much stronger than either of their previous appearances in the main series. They have kept their ability to cast [[Buff]] to protect themselves and their fellow monsters, gaining the ability to perform a [[Paralysis Attack]] and spinning attacks.
