Monstrous scorpions are likely to attack any creature that approaches, and they usually charge when attacking prey.

Constrict (Ex): A monstrous scorpion deals automatic claw damage on a successful grapple check.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a monstrous scorpion must hit with a claw attack. A monstrous scorpion can use either its Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for grapple checks, whichever is better.

Poison (Ex): A monstrous scorpion has a poisonous sting. The details vary by the scorpion's size, as follows. The save DCs are Constitution- based. The indicated damage is initial and secondary damage.

Small	12	1d2 Con	Gargantuan	23	1d8 Con
Medium	13	1d3 Con	Colossal	33	1d10 Con
