Sting any creature that’s attacking to turn them passive

Up so people see

These things are the bane of my existence. I was doing a perfect 150 allo tame in the redwoods, and I was off gathering prime. I get the notification, “You have tamed Allosaurus, level 150!” Two seconds later I get another notification. “Your Allosaurus level 150 was killed by a 120 Pulminoscorpius.” I run back to the taming spot, and sure enough, there is 4 Pulminos staring at me. I bola’d them and put campfires beneath them, and then lit the campfires. I ensured that they died a slow, painful death.

You should def be able to "milk" a scorp for narcotics

The perfect beginner tame (if you see it before it sees you)

I tamed my eerie male scorpion on ark mobile during the eerie server event inside the poison cave. It was the best choice I ever made as he is now guarding my hatchery.

On mobile I recommend the following for stats if you plan to use a scorpion as a guard.

Speed is good at 230%
Melee at about 500% (just to keep those nasty wild Dinos spawning in your base in line)
Health about 5k (scorpions can be very easily killed if they don’t have good health in them.)

Upgrade melee for more torpity per hit

When I was a fresh noob to ark I'd tame 3 scorps. I'd ride one and have the other 2 set to follow and there wasn't anything that could stop us

If you have an enclosed base, put a couple of these with high health inside on aggressive to give a raiders a particularly nasty surprise.

The higher the melee damage, the higher the torpor. Also upgrade movement speed so it can close the gap

Scorpions make a great early seafaring mount if you hold the jump key ( space bar by default) a scorpion will float above the water allowing you to get past most Puranas without being attacked, this can be extremely useful for crossing dangerous rivers or even oceans.
