-A '''giant scorpion''', {{monsym|giant scorpion}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]], [[SlashTHEM]] and [[Hack'EM]]. It is a much stronger relative of the standard [[scorpion]] that shares the same glyph, though scorpions can not [[grow up]] into giant scorpions. The giant scorpion has the highest difficulty and base level among non-[[unique]] [[arachnid or centipede]] monsters.

-The '''giant scorpion''' is a monster added in [[SLASH'EM]]. As the name implies, it is a far stronger version of a [[scorpion]]; similar to a [[winged gargoyle]], however, scorpions can not [[grow up]] into giant scorpions, and laying an egg while polymorphed into a giant scorpion will only produce another giant scorpion.

-These monsters are a major threat: they possess good speed, many hit points, and can inflict a large and steady stream of damage.  One should be particularly careful if one lacks [[poison resistance]], but even with it they remain formidable foes. [[Elbereth]], powerful pets and/or [[attack wand]]s, and possibly [[escape item]]s are all advised. Be very careful not to mistake them for the regular scorpions with whom they share a glyph: they have three times as much health and hit approximately five times as hard.
+Giant scorpions are usually a major threat: they are as fast as normal scorpions at 15 [[speed]], have far more hit points, and can inflict a large and steady stream of damage that makes them formidable even against characters with poison resistance. Furthermore, since they cannot hide under items, they are much harder to keep at bay.
