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. 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.

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.

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.
