 Urban Dictionary: scorpion
Scorpions have existed for a long time (the oldest known fossils are 400 million years old, and some early scorpions were much bigger than those of today - the fossilized Brontoscorpio and Gigantoscorpio are estimated to have been a metre long each in life).
Scorpions possess a pair of feather-like forms under their stomachs which they use to 'feel' the ground for vibrations which could tell of nearby predators or prey.
When mating, the male scorpion grasps the female by the pincers, deposits a 'package' of sperm onto the ground and then pulls the female over it, so she can lower herself and absorb it through an opening in her body.

Scorpions should not be kept by children under 18 years old (unless they are non-dangerous species being kept by a mature-minded and responsible child that is closely supervised by a responsible parent) and anyone that has mental problems that would make the safe-keeping of scorpions impossible.

 Scorpion | Rampancy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
The Scorpion tank made difficult sections of the first game seem like shooting fish in a barrel, with only Wraith tanks and Banshee flyers posing any serious danger.
In multiplayer, using it was more of a tradeoff, as the tank could be slowed by the effects of plasma weapons, and the driver was vulnerable to being sniped, as are Warthog drivers.
In Halo 2, that trend continues; although the Scorpion cannot be simply boarded like the other vehicles, it is possible to jump on the tank and melee the driver.

 Scorpion light tank - TankNet Military Forums
Sadly, my knowledge to this topic (tanks and land warfare) is poor, and the contact to the source of such short duration, that I could now badly need some additional opinions.
For example, one of the things which were new to me about the Scorpion was that this tank should be able to move even without tracks - only on the four rollers, which should be powered.
Furthermore, there should be some kind of a machine-gun, or 20mm cannon, that could be put into the barrel of the 60mm gun, thus changing the nature of the whole vechile, and making it capable to fight even helicopters and aircraft with automatic fire.
