History: A giant prehistoric scorpion. Lives in a deep underground canyon in Mexico with other scorpions and other giant prehistoric bugs. When a volcanic eruption opened the cave, some smaller (but still huge) scorpions crawled out and terrorized the populace. The military blew up part of the canyon, burying most of the rest, and forced five scorpions out, one of them the big one. Latter killed the remaining four and attacked Mexico City. Was lured into a baseball park, shot with tanks, and had an electrical probe stuck into it’s neck. Fried and died.

Scorpions are good fighters, and the giant version is likewise. It has a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, able to withstand bullets and tanks shells. It also has two big claws and an even bigger stinging tail. Its main mode of attack is to grab its prey and inject venom into the victim's throat. It is a strong, powerful creature that pinches and stings, but it's not invincible. It can't do much outside of standing on the ground, and it can't shoot projectiles either. Still a force to be reckoned with though.
