Sandy Forest Scorpion

Herbamortus chersotopos, or Sandy Forest Scorpion, is the largest scorpion from the genus Herbamortus. Introduced by the Volandic biology and paleontology enthusiast Adrii Warendrop, this species was thoroughly discussed and studied. This was caused by fossils of H. sandburgi getting wrongly classified as a H. chersotopos which lead to checking every found fossil of this species, although it ended out in them all being correctly sorted from the beginning.

Appearance
This dark green scorpion is known for its size. It can grow up to 200 mm, or 7.8 inches in length. The telson is quite thick, with the stinger being strong enough to puncture the skin of the cactuses in the deserts.

Habitat
This desert dwelling scorpion is found in most of Huitca’s deserts, with exceptions of the island surrounding the mainland. Generally the scorpion will be seen hiding by cactuses, smaller scrubs and rocks.

Venom
H. chersotopos is highly venomous with a LD50 of 0.2 mg/kg, making it the most venomous of the genus Herbamortus. Attacks on humans occur, although it is very rare.
