- —Spriteling, Wario World
Big Scorpers are enemies in Wario World. They are big red scorpions with long tails, blue eyes, no claws, and small legs. They are encountered in Pecan Sands. Big Scorpers attempt to strike at Wario with their tails if he stands on or near their heads. Big Scorpers can be attacked only from being Ground Pounded on the head, and after three hits, Big Scorpers are knocked out of the sand and become vulnerable to attack.

Trivia[edit]
- The game's official European website erroneously gives the name "Big Scorper" to the Sandworm boss, despite it clearly not being a scorpion. Presumably, the writer of that section misinterpreted the Spriteling's hint as referring to the boss instead of the enemy.
