A hellstriker scorpion is a massive predator with a tough black carapace covered in striking red and orange markings. Hellstriker scorpions are normally found in hot, humid areas, though they naturally produce intense heat, allowing them to survive in very cold regions. Most sages agree that a fiend had a part in the creation of hellstriker scorpions, usually thought to have been a devil.
