== Poisoned weapons ==
The Claws were masters in the brewing, handling, and application of a large number of poisonous compounds. These compounds were applied to their weapons, ensuring a staggering mortality rate among those they faced on the battlefield. The poisons were chosen for their rapid effect, as the Scorpion could not afford to have those with minor wounds dying after the battle was over without being presented with a great deal of unpleasant questions.

The Scorpion Claws were typically only deployed against high priority targets, either units or individuals that needed to be completely eliminated from the battlefield in order to ensure a Scorpion victory. They were often given heavy cover during deployment, either through heavy infantry or even cavalry, in order to ensure they reached their objective with minimal attrition.
