The Skorp is a scorpion-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman. It has a mostly orange body, with a black face and grey shoulders. It moves about on tank treads and sports two pincers. It also possesses a long, spindly tail ending in a spiked mace-ball that serves as its primary weapon. The tail can extend to almost three times the length of the Skorp's body.
Game appearances[]
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles[]
To date, Skorp has only appeared as an enemy in Sonic & Knuckles. It can be encountered in Sandopolis Zone, moving slowly back and forth until the player approaches. When it spots the player, it draws its tail back and then extends it to hit the player. The moment its tail extends is the moment to strike since its spiked tip is not hanging above the Skorp's body. When the tail extends, the Skorp's back is exposed to a Spin Jump. Alternatively, the Skorp can be struck in the front or rear with a Spin Dash.
Appearances in other media[]
Archie Comics[]
Skorps appear in the Post-Super Genesis Wave continuity of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series from Archie Publications. During Issues 258 and 259, the Freedom Fighters board an Eggman Empire train in order to rescue Professors Charles Hedgehog and Dillon Pickle. When Sonic breaches a car containing several inactive Badniks, they activate and attack him. Sonic and the others manage to destroy all the Skorps and Dragonflies aboard the train and complete their mission.
