Golden scorpion (SciiFii)

The golden scorpion (Neogigantoleiurus chrysitis), also known as the sand scorpion and the golden sandstinger, is a species of scorpion that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the deserts across North America and South America to help boost biodiversity. It has a golden colored exoskeleton that reflefts, giving it a golden look to the animal, hence its name, to blend in with the sand during the sunny day. When it senses vibrations, it immediately stops moving and lies flat on the and blends in with the sand. More than often, this tactic often works, as several natural predators of the golden scorpion do not have a keen sense of smell. It also uses its sandy coloring to ambush hunt insects, spiders, and its smaller cousins, as many of them could see it coming. Despite being venomous, the venom of the golden scorpion is not lethal to animals the size of large domestic cats or larger, including humans. The golden scorpion is one of the largest known species of scorpion of the Americas, growing to be around 1 feet (30 cm) long. The conservation status of the golden scorpion is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the golden scorpion's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
