Tracks found in Scotland look to be from an ancient water scorpion as big as a kitchen table. If the analysis is right, it is the first evidence of the creature coming ashore.

 

The scorpion, a six-legged thing called Hibbertopterus, was about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and 3 feet (1 meter) wide. It is long since extinct.

Awww I wanted to go fight one

So much information, just from some tracks. It looks utterly gormless. I think I may know someone who's a direct descendant.

I know a guy named "Scorpion", you could fight him

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

It's an elongated Horse Shoe crab.

[kumquatq3]

I would have deleted that joke too Doomy

[Surreptishus]

what joke?

[Gabrielle]

They would make a good pet.

[kumquatq3]

It was something like: No, but it did stay at a holiday inn express last night

I dont own a spear. I was thinking of a Claymore need something with some reach and some leverage.

 

Wouldnt really want to kill it though although I doubt it would share the sentiment.

You could always make one... for Giant Scorpion fighting "

[kumquatq3]

and, if by some cruel twist of fate, you can't find a giant scorpion.......there are always chimps that need dying

Really wouldnt want to kill it. Just sort of test myself against it

 

Kind of like subduing a Dragon only with a giant scorpion.

[kumquatq3]

Well, we could give Volourn a spear.

So the question is who would win? A giant scorpion or a chimp? And who would go on to fight kumquat? Will spectators feast upon the flesh of the fallen?

[SteveThaiBinh]

So the question is who would win? A giant scorpion or a chimp?

Would this be a spear-holding or non spear-holding chimp? Plus there's the nature of the audience to consider. Home crowd always gives an advantage.

[kumquatq3]

In the end it would not matter.

 

I will give them a good death.

 

 

 

 

except the chimp

[Gabrielle]

The chimp is a wimp. One slahs by the stinger of the scorpian and he would be dead.

That's what I was thinking too... Looks much more like a horseshoe crab than a scorpion.

at the end of the article it says it's closest realitives are scorpions and a few crab species.
