You can’t breed them on mobile. Make the arrow face the sky so more people know

Sting any creature that’s attacking to turn them passive

In my opinion, these guys are the best, go on, say i am weird.

First, they are very easy to tame, all you need is a few spoiled meats and a bola, tranq arrows or even slingshots will do.

Second, after they are tamed, they are super useful, you can use them for cheap creature knock-outs, plus, if you tamed one in a cave, then use it for exploration, nothing in the cave can pick on you, making it easy to get to the artifacts.

Third, they are super easy to care for, they eat spoiled meat as well, so if a stack of meat spoils in its inventory, it will still eat them.

They have decent speed, stamina and melee damage, and can cross over tough terrain that most dinosaurs can’t.

Plus cool

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

In mobile, their ability changes depending on where they are tamed. I mean like, if you tame it in a cave, it will get the cave dweller role and obtain an invisibility glitch. If you tame it somewhere else the cave though.. The glitch doesn’t happen. So don’t just attack a therizino going like “IM UNTOUCHABLE!!” You will die.

This is less of a tip and more of a question, but if I level up a pulmonascorpias melee damage will it increase the torpor???

Ok these guys need a TLC patch.

First patch: being able to choose to use its tail for less damage but more torpor, or use its claws for more damage but no torpor.

Second new ability: grabbing a small Dino with its claws only being able to use its tail for attacking while picking up a Dino. Perfect for taming!

Thorny dragon or Pulmonoscorpious. Which is better?

Thornys and scorpions are some of the only nock-out tames in the game. They both deal a good amount of torpor, but which is better to knock?

Using the stats of a lvl 1 equs, dodoex says that it will take 10 stings from a scorpion or 105 thorny needles from a base lvl to knock a lvl 1 equs. It might seem that the thorny dragon is immediately disqualified, but hold on a second. The thorny shoots 10 quills at a time, so if we divide 105 by 10 we get 10.5, meaning you will need to get almost eleven full hits to knock out. Taking in account that is is hard to get full hits, the number of shots you need to take is much greater than a pulmo. Thus the pulmo is the best out of the two! Thx for reading!

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

I confirmed the myth 'Tame it inside the cave and creatures will not aggro on you while riding it'. It even works if you teleport it out of the cave to your base and come back through cave entry. I have to try normal scorpion in cave to get more information.

Tame one of these in mobile and you are literally untouchable.

To anyone wondering why you can't deal torpor with these guys.

You do, even on mobile.

The thing is, for some God unknown reason, you can't see torpor in creatures with the spy glass while on a tame, if you get off you will be able to see that you did inflict torpor.

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.

Upgrade melee for more torpity per hit

This is for mobile player's but if you're having a hard time with the Survive in area Daily pursuits, tame one of these bad boys in a cave, get yourself an otter then just chill in the location. Nothing will attack you and your otter will keep your temperature perfect. While Arthros are a lot tankier these guys are faster and can get places Arthros can't so getting on top of a mountain without a flyer is much easier. Plus their sting pacifies attackers so if you accidentally jump off, get back on and give em a good sting to calm them.

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.)

If you see a quetz you want and you have a tame that can carry this pulminoscorpius pick it up using something like an argentavis fly up and drop the scorpion on it and that’s how you tame a quetzal and put this scorpion to good use

In Ark Mobile If Your Riding This Creature Nothing Attacks You Even If You Attack Them

Very effective as a battle mount/travelling companion. I mostly play on single player so an effective companion is vital. I tamed my Kopiona when she was level 32...she's at 62 now with 200% melee damage, over 800 health and quite a few surprising kills notched into her tail.

Some noteworthy accomplishments (without my assistance) are:

-1 Carno killed (lvl 30)

-1 Spino (lvls 3)

-1 pack of 4 Raptors (lvls 36, 24, 18, and 50)

-Survived a Rex attack (lvl 24) after I had died with minimal health loss.

Coupled with its torpor inducing attacks, it's also great as a taming mount.

Alright so believe it or not, these things swim alot faster than they walk. Also, there is a weird glitch on mobile (might work on pc) where when you tame a scorp in a cave, it basically becomes an arthro. As in nothing attacks it. Not sure if that's intentional or not but its a cool thing either way.
