The gold layer reflect most of the sunlight, but it renders the scorpion extremely vulnerable to electric shocks

--DATABANK--
Live up to its name, this medium sized scorpion is made of pure gold... or at least, mainly.

While the scorpion has a venomous stinger like most scorpions, it's too weak to fully paralyses its prey, and have virtually no effect on larger animals. It chooses to flee if disturb, usually burrows into the sand.

Wattage Town folks consider this scorpion a protected species due to it's rarity, even though there was a time it was eaten. It was described to taste like... bread.

Assessment: Not dangerous, worth a LOT of money
