Filecard[]
Sand Scorpion
Cobra Elite Desert Trooper
Primary Military Specialty: Extreme Desert Operations
SAND SCORPION forces are products of a secret program run by Dr. Mindbender to produce fiercer and more effective troops for the COBRA legions. Hand-picked COBRA SAND TROOPER troops have their DNA recombined with that of their arachnid namesakes, further recombination has given them scales on the sides of their bodies, which allow them to breath in the sand. This is irritating and uncomfortable, so all SAND SCORPRION troops come out of the sand in a very bad mood and ready to fight anything in front of them. Completely buried in the sand, they wait patiently in ambush, sensing the approach of a victim by feeling vibrations through the packed desert floor, they erupt out of their burrows to attack, with bio-mechanical scorpions mounted on their backs to slash with razor sharp claws and spit venom. Heavily armored, fast, and skilled in weaponry, they are formidable opponents best dealt from at a distance with a laser-guided missile.
