Salt Scorpion
Level 2 Wildlife · Perdition
In Desperados Destiny, Salt Scorpion is a level 2 wildlife — an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions.
Field notes
A pale scorpion nesting in the dry mortar of collapsed walls. Ancient and indifferent — these were already white before the town died.
What you are walking into
Salt Scorpion is level 2, carries 18 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 Salt Scorpion plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Salt Scorpion
Salt Scorpion is encountered at Perdition. 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 Perdition covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 24 experience and between $1 and $2. Its loot table can yield Scorpion Chitin and Venom Sac. 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.
