Scorpion mounts were released at Rumor Woods in 2026 as the eighth installment of available mounts. Scorpion mounts are summoned by a rattle, which is a summoning item that stores their information but is considered a separate item. Similar to horse mounts, there are three tiers of scorpion mounts: common, uncommon, and rare. There are some species- or coloration-based restrictions on which features are available through the Ostler, depending on the individual scorpion. Feature restrictions are strictly based on the scorpion's breed. As with other mounts, scorpions can be given a name visible to the owner with a Potion of Naming, available at Evermore Hollow. Common scorpions can be unlocked to the uncommon tier via Uncommon Mount Foods, expanding their verb messaging, ambient message, and available feature options.

The creature possesses ten limbs: four pairs of segmented walking legs and two large pedipalps that end in [thin-tipped] pincers. His [segmented] tail curves behind him and ends in a reddish telson with a curved stinger.

Two small, [mottled brown] median eyes are positioned centrally upon his cephalothorax, with several lateral eyes arrayed along his carapace to either side of his dark-tipped mouthparts. The creature possesses ten limbs: four pairs of segmented walking legs and two large pedipalps that end in [sharply pointed] pincers. His [flattened] tail curves behind him and ends in a bulbous telson with a curved stinger.

A pattern of [sigils] marked in [silver] stands out starkly against the [massive] scorpion's [tuberculated] [oxblood red] chitin. A pair of large, [ebon] eyes are positioned centrally upon his cephalothorax, with dozens of lateral eyes arrayed along his carapace to either side of his oversized, serrated chelicerae. The creature possesses ten limbs: four pairs of segmented walking legs and two large pedipalps that end in [serrated] pincers. His [thick] tail curves behind him and ends in a bulbous telson with a curved stinger.

Rare

Rare mounts are the highest tier available for purchase and offer additional verbs unavailable at common or uncommon tiers. They are only available during their initial run, and are normally discontinued in concurrent runs. For 2026, the rare scorpion mount was a vecdrae scythir. Unlike some other rare mounts, the rare scorpion mount is not locked into its features or descriptions. It does have some coloration-based limitations on their available features that are available through the Ostler.

The vecdrae scythir's rare ability is to leave behind **a crystallized dark granule** that has hallucinogenic properties.  While some that consume this granule report positive affects, others have terrible outcomes and refuse to discuss what they saw.
