Scorpions

Scorpions are like evil-looking lobsters that live on land; except they also have big tales with stingers that contain a powerful poison. Popular thinking would have you believe that the larger the scorpion, the more deadly the poison; but in truth, it is actually the smaller breeds that prove the most deadly.

Penny Dreadful
Scorpions appear in the main-title sequence of the Showtime television series Penny Dreadful.
