- "But she couldn't stay in the Stronghold anymore. She's not sure she'll ever be able to set her talons in the desert again — at least, not until Queen Scorpion is dead. Which won't be for a long time, thanks to those healing and longevity spells Jerboa was forced to make for her. I said no when it mattered, though, she reminds herself. I saved the SkyWings. And probably even more dragons after that. Queen Scorpion wouldn't have stopped. She would always want more: more land, more power, more of Jerboa's magic."
- — Jerboa's thoughts, The Dangerous Gift
Scorpion was an adult female SandWing who ruled as queen of the SandWings during the era of Darkstalker. She died of a heart attack, which was induced by Jerboa after ruling for approximately sixty years.
Personality[]
Scorpion was greedy and power-hungry, always wanting more land, more power, and more of Jerboa's magic.[1] She loved treasure, and may have disrespected her alliances,[2] as she was mad with power.[3] She was also a very shrewd queen, as she greatly enriched the kingdom by allowing both the IceWings and the NightWings to fight over the Kingdom of Sand's territory as long as they stayed away from SandWing settlements and paid the SandWings massive amounts of treasure.[4]
Biography[]
The Lost Continent Prophecy[]
The Dangerous Gift[]
Jerboa noted that she could not remain in the desert until Scorpion was dead. She described Scorpion's greedy and possessive nature as she travelled through the Mud Kingdom. As she thought about enchanting an animal egg to be her future dragonet, Jerboa realized that she had to wait for Scorpion's death for it to be safe to have a dragonet. Jerboa later thought about the heart attack that she had enchanted Scorpion to die from. Jerboa told her daughter Boa, stories of Scorpion's cruelty which Boa remembered very clearly. Boa compared Snowfall to Scorpion, fearing that Snowfall might end up on the same path as Scorpion.
Legends[]
Darkstalker[]
It was mentioned that she allowed the NightWings and IceWings to fight in the Kingdom of Sand as long as they avoided SandWing settlements and gave her treasure as payment. She was listed as one of Pyrrhia's ancient queens alongside Anaconda, Carmine, Crane, Diamond, Lagoon, Pearl, and Vigilance.
Relationships[]
Jerboa[]
Scorpion was possessive of Jerboa, keeping her away from other dragons.[5] She made Jerboa enchant her with longevity and healing,[1] but was ultimately killed by the animus with an induced heart attack.[3]
