What it’s good at

Guard Dog

Easy to tame and feed, no damage multiplier, good health and dangerous to even armored raiders, the scorpion is especially effective if used to surprise opponents in tight corridors.

Level up: and

Early Game Hunter

The Pulmonoscorpius are also useful in hunting, as their torpor-inflicting attacks can knock out creatures and leave them vulnerable. Later on they can be replaced by for meat and for Hide and Chitin

Travel

Pulmonoscorpius is one of the best terrestrial creatures to climb mountains and pass through forests as far as smooth travel, as it can easily walk up rocks and steep ledges. They can also surpass most land creatures in water.

Cave Mount:

Attacking with the scorpion will either not cause the target dino to aggro/run away, or they do aggro/run away for a couple of seconds before resetting and become neutral.

If the creature is requested or resurrected from chronicled/ killed, its invisible glitch is fixed.

Creatures hatched/ given birth to do not have this glitch.

All creatures that are tamed in caves (Pulmonoscorpius, , , , , , , ) have the same glitch, but the Pulmonoscorpius is the easiest mount to tame of all.

The wild , somehow have the same glitch, even they are not cave creatures

Versatile Taming Assistant

They are very useful when you want to tame a mid-game dino, as their torpor-like poison can knock them out in a few hits, giving you the advantage to overcome them, or to run away if you are low in health. Enable Target Conscious Only from the radial menu or it will kill the dinosaur you want to tame.

Level up: and

It is rather easy to attack excessively and deal more damage rather than Torpor. It is more suited towards carnivores as they can be corpse-fed and healed nearly instantly. Note that any fleeing carnivores will refuse to eat corpses. Attack 2 times every 20 seconds.

Can be used to approach the Non-Violent Taming creatures (, , , , , , , ).

Can be used to inflict torpor on creatures without getting fight back. It may be slower than other KO method but it is an cheap and low risk method. Recommended on high HP creatures. (Level Up )

Can be carried by an to Knock-Out , this is a classic solo strategy to knock-Out a Quetzal, just grab the scorpion with the Argentavis and put it on agressive or whistle to attack the Quetzal, the Pulmonoscorpius will attack the Quetzal everytime that it has it in its melee range.

Level up: Damage

Swarmers

Scorpions are easy to amass due to their common taming food with their torpor dealing attack and fast reproduction rate they can swarm any small creature however they are vulnerable to attackers with significant knockback such as and

Level up: and

Swimmer

Scorpions has a decent swim speed, allowing the relative easy water exploration, take in mind that the Pulmonoscorpius are not a water creature, so it will try to swim up to the surface unless the player whistle follow, it also constantly consumes while swimming and while diving, the Oxygen is also important because the swimming speed scales with it.

Level up: Stamina and Oxygen

Egg Farm

made with the was used to tame Rex and Beelzebufo, and scorpions were very popular to be tamed for egg farms. This stopped being applicable once the Homestead update came, which greatly simplified the kibble system to 6 categories instead of dozens of different kibbles. With the TLC3 update Pulmonoscorpius no longer lay unfertile eggs at all. Pulmonoscorpius egg farms are no longer viable.

PVP :

If a Scorpion touches a player in pvp, it can stop them from moving for a few seconds. If the player kept moving forward, then you can easily bola them or knock them out. This ability is very useful in early game Aberration PVP.

The scorpion's stinger attack increases enemy's torpor in good amounts. The scorpion is the cheapest tame to inflict torpor, especially in Aberration.

The scorpion's agility, small size and calmness make it covert and hidden from other players.

Hostage/Prisoner Taker

Knock-out other humans and take them hostage, kill them, or just leave them for the dinos.
