'''Big Scorpers''' are enemies in ''[[Wario World]]''. They are big red scorpions with long tails, blue eyes, no claws, and small legs. They are encountered in [[Pecan Sands]]. Big Scorpers attempt to strike at [[Wario]] with their tails if he stands on or near their heads. Big Scorpers can be attacked only from being [[Ground Pound]]ed on the head, and after three hits, Big Scorpers are knocked out of the sand and become vulnerable to attack.
Wario cannot defeat these beasts immediately. Their tails are the only part visible at first, as their bodies remain buried in the sand. A pair of eyes poke out from the sand, however, and Wario can Ground Pound these eyes three times in order to stun the Big Scorper and turn it vulnerable to a powerful move.
