Trivia[]
- This mob shared same name as the one appeared in Swordburst 2, another game made my AbstractAlex.
- Although, there's basically no similarities other than both being a scorpion.
- Burrow ability animation will become glitched sometimes and it will just teleport instead of digging when it triggers for the first time.
- This and Goblin Gatekeeper are the only two bosses with two different skins.
- This and Shadow of Cerberus are the only two bosses to appear in two different worlds.
- King Crab was one of it as well but it's temporary.
