Scorpiagirls were once thought to be extinct. During the Revenge War, they acted as path clearers through woodland areas, removing trees and creating assault paths for fortresses and towns controlled by humans, using Soften Sting to help weaken fortress walls to allow for easier break ins. Hiding in the environment became extremely difficult thanks to these creatures. For years it was unexplained as to why a scorpion-based creature would eat wood, however a raid on a Sukebe-controlled lab revealed that with some girls, he added extra genetic code to them, such as locust DNA in his Wasp Pokégirls, and termite DNA in his Scorpiagirls. This discovery came after the war, as the Scorpiagirls were destroyed en masse by human forces after the death of Pokégirl General Selket the Swarm and Sukebe’s supposed death. For years it was thought that they were extinct until several of them began reappearing in various Leagues. The first rediscovery of this Pokégirls occurred in 280 AS, when a Scorpiagirl was seen battling a water-type Pokégirl on a shoreline of the Crescent League. Since then, there have been sightings of them in the Indigo, Johto, Capital, Noir, Slot, and Forest Leagues. There have also been rumored sightings of them in the Tropic and Crimson Leagues as well.
For the longest time it was thought that no Pokégirl evolved into the Scorpiagirl. However, after the discovery of the Round Stone it was revealed that Spinnertits could evolve into Scorpiagirls. Testing has proven that Spinnertits have always had this ability, it’s just that no one in authority knew about this evolutionary process until just recently. A study of Feral Spinnertits in an area known to have Round Stones in it, followed by a domestic-born Spinnertit who, with permission from herself and her Tamer, was evolve with a Round Stone, was used to prove this.
Scorpiagirls are large Pokégirls. Their lower bodies are large, resembling the breed they are primarily based on (similar to the Arachnae’s tauric form), with six arachnid legs and two sets of large, powerful claws. The upper set of pincher claws are blunter, allowing for powerful gripping attacks, while the lower set are sharper, more scissors-like and capable of strong cutting attacks. Their backs are long enough and strong enough to hold a person on them, a long, segmented tail with a long stinger at the end. Their tails, which are as long as their entire body in ‘scorpiontaur form,’ are usually carried in a curve so that the stinger is over their heads. This gives them a wide radius of attack. The stinger is made of an organic metal and is hollow, connected to poison sacs in the tail. Their powerful stingers were part of the reason they were hunted during the Revenge War, as they were weapons capable of piercing even Rock-types and Steel-types. The Scorpiagirl’s upper body is that of a tall, muscular woman with unusual markings on her body, a light frame of chitinous armor around her torso and partially down her human arms. They are ‘tauric Pokégirls, similar to the Arachnae, and can morph into a more human-like form for taming. In this form, they are seven-feet tall on average, with powerful, muscular legs. The only scorpion-like part they retain in this form is the chitinous armoring on their back and a slightly shorter version of their tails.
In combat, Scorpiagirls tend to be aggressive. They seek to close with their opponents quickly so as to bring them within striking range of her pincher claws and tail. They can use their tail and claws to strike with the force of a Mega Punch, although their favored tactic is to grip with their blunter claws and strike repeatedly with their tails. Their scissors-like claws are capable of cutting through stone, their tail stingers sharp enough to slash metal. In addition to Soften Sting and Vice Grip, they can also shoot a toxic venom out as a mid-range projectile attack. Their major weakness is that their exoskeleton, especially in their tauric form, retains heat quite efficiently. They overheat quickly in battles with Fire-types.
Combat is not the only use of the Scorpiagirl, however. The chitinous armoring on their humanoid upper torso extends down to the wrists of the Pokégirl. Because of the heavy cellulose in their diet, Scorpiagirls an take some of that cellulose matter and convert it into a strong, dense, high-tensile organic polymer. They can then extrude it through their the hollow chitin tubes in their wrists. They can shape it with their hands, and use it for various purposes. It hardens in minutes, making it useful for construction and for immobilizing prisoners. As they actually proved useful now in constructive purposes rather than just threatening and destructive purposes, laws against hunting them were passed.
Scorpiagirls tend to have low libidos and very casual demeanors, although there have been several recorded cases where Scorpiagirls become more affectionate and passionate after a tough battle. They prefer greatly to be on top, mainly because their tails in their taming form make it difficult for them to sleep on their backs. For safety’s sake, it’s best to restrain a Scorpiagirl’s tail in some way during Taming, as it tends to lash about while in spasms of pleasure.
Feral cases of Scorpiagirls are rare, but they have been reported. They are skittish, tense creatures when Feral, and tend to respond to new stimuli with a ‘sting first, analyze later’ method, especially during confrontations. So far, only three cases of human girls Thresholding into Scorpiagirls have been recorded, all in the Crescent League where they were first rediscovered.
