Fire Scorpions

Fire Scorpions are a breed of vicious invertebrates regularly growing between four to eight metres long. They get their name from the virulent bio-chemical, "Flame Venom" that they produce at the end of their tails, which once injected via their wickedly sharp barbs turns their victims own blood into an acidic slurry whilst it is still pumping round the unfortunate's body. Their Queens have been recorded to grow larger than an Astartes Rhino transport vehicle (6.6 metres). But although that may be intimidating, a Queen’s main weapon is her pheromones, which secrete whenever her territory is invaded causing all local scorpions to confront the trespasser with a berserker rage.
