Scorpion varieties... The Sandclaw's cousin, the Mudclaw, can be found in swamp-like terrain, while the much rarer Deathclaw is found deep within deep subterranean tombs. All scorpions share the same general attributes, but their On Hit Status Effect can be exchanged for Stun (Mudclaw) or Rotting Touch (Deathclaw)...

Sandclaw

"The Sandclaw waits buried beneath the sand, its carapace nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding dunes. This monstrous scorpion strikes with a venomous tail and a crushing snap of its claws, stunning prey before dragging it below the surface..."
