## Description and Biology

### Size and Lifestyle

Gargantuoscorpios are gargantuan, land-dwelling Brontoscorpios that are the second-largest Igneous Desert inhabitants, only dwarfed by the Olgoi-Khorkhoi. Gargantuoscorpios are primarily scavengers, as they don't have any prey and can only hope to find a dying Olgoi-Khorkhoi or a smaller organism introduced to the desert.

### Origins

When lots of Brontoscorpios escaped the Ancient Tyrant colosseums, they started feeding on a wormlike species called Amogers, ad they grew to massive sizes.

### Weapons and Defenses

Gargantuoscorpios have pincers and a stinger much like any other scorpion, however, it has no venom in its tail. They also have some armor on their backs, which defends against blunt objects, but can be penetrated by any sharp weapons or even their own pincers and stinger.

### Hunting

Rarely has a Gargantuoscorpio been seen hunting naturally, so the ancient Tyrants introduced creatures from other biomes into their territories. They saw that the Gargantuoscorpios, when they aren't summoned by outside interference, take a minute to stalk their prey while hiding under the sand, and then they strike if the decide there is no threat. Alternatively, if they hear a false mating call, they all come out of the ground at once and strike the first non-Gargantuoscorpio creature they see, an instinct that would be their demise.

### Distribution

Gargantuoscorpios usually stay in the center of the Igneous Desert (as well as other deserty regions, albeit are much rarer), and never leave.

### Reproduction

Once they hear a true mating call, the Gargantuoscorpios come out of the ground, look around for any intruders, and then start looking for bitches. As soon as a Gargantuoscorpio finds a mate, they do the classic scorpion dance, and then, depending on how it goes, get straight to having seggs.

## History

### Devonian Period

Once upon a time, before the Carboniferous Period, it's said that an entire generation of Brontoscorpio (though it's most likely just a few specimens) was born with gigantism. They eventually died.

### Rebirth on Tyrantia

The Ancient Tyrants collected Brontoscorpio DNA, not knowing it was from specimens with gigantism, and used it to create all-new Brontoscorpios, who were above-average size. When they escaped, they feed on amogers, and they grew to massive sizes. This somehow combined with their gigantism, making them as big as sauropods. Despite that, they were hunted by the Olgoi-Khorkhoi, and their numbers decreased rapidly.

### Hell

However, the Brontoscorpios survived, and had become a part of the ecosystem. Unfortunately, they ate all of the amogers (another wormlike species), resulting in them eventually leading lives of scavenging dead Olgoi-Khorkhoi, which became even harder due to the Ancient Tyrants wiping out almost every single one of the worms, and causing the survivors to avoid the Igneous Desert. The Brontoscorpios suffered greatly, and became endangered.

### Research

Eventually, the Ancient Tyrants started researching the Olgoi-Khorkhois, and did so with the Brontoscorpios as well, even naming them "Gargantuoscorpios". Both species were studied greatly, but this didn't stop the Brontoscorpios from dying out.

### Extinction

Eventually, only 50 Gargantuoscorpios remained in the Igneous Desert, with no survivors in the other regions. Around that time, an Aegyptosaurus showed up and mind-controlled them with his egg timer. Then, they all went extinct when Consultant Indoraptor showed up in the desert. After Aegyptosaurus made a false mating call to summon them, Consultant Indoraptor killed them all.

### Another One?

In Prehistoric Spin Wheel Battles: Global Destruction Day 5, it's revealed that there is a male Gargantuoscorpio in the Igneous Desert, and Jaekelopterus summons it in an attempt to get rid of a Bull Olgoi-khorkhoi that's mysteriously decided to stay in the desert and invaded the colosseum. The two had a big fight, which ended when the Gargantuoscorpio got the upper hand and stung the worm to death. After that, the Gargantuoscorpio was cut in half by Nemegtosaurus, AKA the sauropod guy.
