Scorpion
- "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 over the Kingdom of Sand during the time of Darkstalker. She died of a heart attack induced by Jerboa after ruling for approximately sixty years.
Personality
Scorpion was greedy, 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]
Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
Jerboa noted that she could not be 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 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 her.
Legends
It was noted 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 one of Pyrrhia's ancient queens alongside Anaconda, Carmine, Crane, Diamond, Lagoon, Pearl, and Vigilance.
Relationships
Scorpion was possessive of Jerboa, keeping her away from other dragons.[4] She made Jerboa enchant her with longevity and healing,[1] but was ultimately killed by the animus with an induced heart attack.[3]
