I am pretty sure that it's not ''Big Scorper'' as there are already enemies in Pecan Sands that use that name.  --[[User:Tailikku1|Tailikku1]] ([[User talk:Tailikku1|talk]]) 09:11, 7 March 2015 (EST)

:The source is [http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/warioworld/enGB/ confirmed by myself]; the site takes a while to load, but once you reach the bosses, it very clearly says that this boss' name is the Big Scorper. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

::Does anyone on here have the Prima guide?  I only have the NP guide.  --[[User:Tailikku1|Tailikku1]] ([[User talk:Tailikku1|talk]]) 12:14, 18 March 2015 (EDT)

OK, I sifted through that site, and good lord is it awful. Takes an eternity and a half to load and its design is needlessly complicated. Complaining about the site aside, the confusion likely stems from the boss's second appearance in Pecan Sands; both the boss and the enemies bury themselves in the sand, so the editor probably thought the Spriteling was referring to the boss when it was actually referring to the enemies. This is also supported by the fact that the enemies are simply called "sand worms" in lower case, meaning that the editor didn't actually know that the scorpion enemies even had a name. The same goes for the [[Reptilian Goliath]]. It says "a reptilian goliath", not "the Reptilian Goliath". My suggestion? If no one confirms the Prima name, use the Nintendo Power name. Tailikku1 said it was called the "Scythe-armed Monster" (confirmation on capitalization)? That's a more fitting name for this thing than Big Scorper OR SandWorm.{{User:7feetunder/sig}} 18:54, 22 June 2016 (EDT)
