Xiatau

==Description==
The is a much larger scorpion and lies in wait underground in the sandy dunes of desert biomes and under the snow of the arctic. 
==Strategic Info==
Similar to the smaller scorpion relatives, is very strong physically, with more resistant to damage than other species because of its hard exoskeleton. It is a deadly foe to face with a large health pool for the unprepared prospector. 
 has 3 main attack phases:
* Physical attacks by its pincers and tail sting poison attacks
* An underground phase with tail sting attacks and small summoned scorpions
* A charge attack phase that inflicts massive damage
Keeping this in mind, bring along some sort of anti-poison medicine, such as . This has a long duration and can prevent an unnecessary death if struck by the tail sting poison attack. 
The increased resistance to physical attacks makes this a long fight. Consider kiting the World Boss into , using Firearms, and/or attacking with DoT effects, such as , , , etc. Using hedgehogs can dramatically reduces the length of the fight. 
Wandering wolves, especially in the arctic, and other wildlife tend to complicate the fight and the corpses attract additional enemies.
 has 2 armored phases based on the color of its exoskeleton:
* When the exoskeleton is white, the prospector can deal damage normally.
* When the exoskeleton is brown, Xiataus armor is up and receives reduced damage. DoT effects are not reduced.
