Red Rock Scorpion
Level 5 Wildlife · Devil's Canyon - Upper Trails
In Desperados Destiny, Red Rock Scorpion is a level 5 wildlife — an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions.
Field notes
A large scorpion with a shell the color of the canyon rock, nearly invisible on the ledges until it strikes.
What you are walking into
Red Rock Scorpion is level 5, carries 40 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Red Rock Scorpion plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Red Rock Scorpion
Red Rock Scorpion is encountered at Devil's Canyon - Upper Trails. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Devil's Canyon - Upper Trails covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 70 experience and between $2 and $5. Its loot table can yield Chitin Plate and Venom. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
