Catapult Scorpion

"If you're looking for a Catapult Scorpion -- and I can't imagine why you would want to do that -- look for Kikanalo."

- Rahaga Norik, Rahi Beasts

Catapult Scorpions are scorpion-like Rahi.

History
The Catapult Scorpion species was created by Makuta Chirox using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

On Metru Nui, Catapult Scorpions reside in caverns under the Sculpture Fields. When they come out of their nest, they destroy everything in their path. They are often mistaken for large Nui-Jaga, but are far more savage and dangerous. The Catapult Scorpions eat solid Protodermis, so their preferred hunting method is to follow Kikanalo herds and eat whatever their horns dig up. Being such fearsome Rahi, Phase Dragons, Rock Raptors, Tunnelers, and the Po-Matoran live in fear of them.

Abilities & Traits
Catapult Scorpions possess stingers that can materialize balls of molten magma, which quickly harden into rock. They launch these stones by snapping their stingers forward.

These Rahi also have razor-like pincers, sharp teeth, and a head covered in spines and horns. They consider enemies almost everything that moves, the only exception being Kikanalo.
