Emperor Scworpion

The Emperor Scworpion is a large scworpion, and the fourth major boss in Pikmin 4 (Wii U). It resembles a giant scorpion and has a black exoskeleton, red eyes, two large claws, eight legs, and a glowing, purple stinger at the end of its tail. The battle against it marks where the difficulty of the game spikes up.

Because the beast's exoskeleton is impossible to break, the stinger is the target. When enough damage is dealt to the stinger, it will burst into poison, endangering all Pikmin exposed except White Pikmin. Additionally, the Emperor Scworpion's abdomen will become open to attack for a short time before it closes up again.
