Scorpion
Hunger
Bonus StaminaThe Scorpion is a creature found in the the Mesa. It wanders around aimlessly until it spots a Scout, at which point it will attempt to sting them.
Mechanics
When picked up or approached, it will ready its stinger, stabbing the Scout if in range. The Scorpion's sting will immediately deal 
2.5 Poison, and will deal up to 100 Poison over the next 15 seconds. The amount of poison will always cause the scout's afflictions to total to 102.5 (assuming they don't gain or lose any for the duration).
A scout can pick up a Scorpion, but cannot put it into an inventory slot or backpack. The scout can throw or cook the Scorpion without being stung if they are quick.
After being cooked, a Scorpion can be eaten, but it still cannot be stored in the inventory or a backpack.
