Scorpion



Scorpion is a decently strong monster who is able to hit you with Walking Water, which you can dodge by moving to the right or left fast enough, or Homing Arrow Lv 2, which won't hit that much due to it being too far away.



In the remake, Walking Water is far easy to dodge, but Ice Wall hits the entire field. It likes to use Ice Wall the most, so you often will be taking damage. It however goes down much faster due to far less Hit Points.

Trivia

 * Scorpion is enemy byte value 3 in the coding.
 * It's named after the anthropod, a scorpion.
 * It uses its stinger heavily in its animations, but only Homing Arrow Lv 2 is similar to a "stinging" move. Walking Water being a projectile somewhat has a similar idea.
 * It's also completely translucent in the Nintendo 64 version. A trait of some kinds of scorpions.
 * It being found in Blue Cave is fitting, due to the proverb about not letting a scorpion on your back, as trusting it is meaningless when stinging is in its nature. In the previous continent, you find some frog monsters as well.
 * Scorpion turns into Lamia in the puzzle game.
