==Tips==
*The Platoon Scorpions use only the AoE Scorpion specials:
:*Wild Rage: Stuns those in the AoE
:*Earth Pounder: Binds those in the AoE
*The AoE they use gets stronger as they die - by the time there is only 1 left it can hit for up to 300 damage.
*Whenever one does an AoE, the others will wake up and do the same AoE if it is close.
:*If they are close enough to mimic each others AoE maneuvers they share a small amount of hate.
:*Sometimes after an Earth Pounder you see the message "The platoon scorpion's legs are lodged in the rocks!" which indicates that they are bound.
:*Sometimes after a Wild Rage you see the message "The platoon scorpion does not have enough energy to attack!" and it stops attacking for about 10 seconds.
*They cannot be feasibly slept after the 3rd or 4th Sleep. Bind and Gravity are suggested.
*Lullaby is never resisted, but loses about 4 seconds of duration with each cast. By the 9th cast it wears off immediately.
:*The Scorpions can resist a Lullaby by a Bard subjob.
