The scorpion is an arachnid of the order Scorpiones characterized by a pair of large pedipalps and a segmented tail ending in a venomous stinger.
History
During the 1st century BCE, scorpions were commonly found throughout Egypt.[1] Attacks were common as they could also be found in cities. In Soknopaiou Nesos, Bayek encountered Tuaa, a woman who lost her husband to a scorpion's sting.[2]
As scorpions are common in Egypt, they eventually found their way into their religion. Serqet is an Egyptian goddess often depicted with a scorpion on her crown, being the goddess of healing venomous stings and bites, among others. By 48 BCE, a cult revering the goddess had sprung up around the Nile Delta, using a stylized scorpion as their insignia.[3]
Bayek encountered several giant scorpions in the Field of Reeds where they were taller than a human and attacked him on sight. Killing these yielded star shards and their pincers as animal goods.[4]
