Scorpion

Scorpions are female Grineer light units that wield Machetes. Aside from dealing decently high damage with their Machetes, they also have a Grappling Hook that they can use to knock down players and drag the victim towards them. The hook itself is an extremely fast projectile. With the lack of any telegraph animations or sounds, the only way to avoid the hook is by sprinting sideways the moment you see one coming. The fast hooks, knockdowns and possibility of hook spamming by multiple Scorpions makes them extremely frustrating to fight when backed up by other units, especially other Scorpions and Rollers.



Trivia

 * Grineer Scorpion is named after a character of Mortal Kombat series - Scorpion, who can drag and stun an enemy with his spear attack.
 * When they were first released, the Scorpion's grappling hook was completely unavoidable, guaranteed to hit, even through walls and obstacles, once the attack is triggered. Due to the outcry on the forums, the hook was changed to a fast but avoidable projectile in a hotfix.
