Grown to enormous size, these hard-shelled terrors have razor-edged claws that can snap a man in two with a single powerful pinch! This Enemy Pack contains everything you need to add these terrifying and poisonous Dark Stone Scorpions to your games of Shadows of Brimstone! There are 2 XL Dark Stone Scorpion models with 60 mm bases included, as well as the large Enemy Record Sheet, die-cut counters, and all of the Threat Cards needed to add them to your games. —description from the publisher
