Name

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

The source is 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. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
I beg to differ. One of the Spritelings in Pecan Sands refers to enemies called Big Scorpers, which are scorpions with absurdly large tails, while the Scythe-armed Monster (a name by Nintendo Power) that the site calls "Big Scorper" goes unmentioned. Nintendo Powe backs this up on the 99th page of the Player's Guide--Tailikku1 (talk) 15:30, 7 March 2015 (EST)
The site is styled as a really cheap platformer; scroll right with your mouse and click on the chests. One of these chests contains information on all of the bosses, which includes their names. It clearly calls the subject of this article the "Big Scorper". Here's the proof. It's inarguable that the site uses that name. Besides the semantics of that, do you have a source for the in-game Spriteling or the issue of the Player's Guide? Hello, I'm Time Turner.
The Red Spriteling in Pecan Sands confirms that the Big Scorper is really a scorpion enemy that can be unearthed with a Ground Pound. And I own a copy of the Player's Guide by Nintendo Power, ISBN 1-930206-26-7, which I have been using to find enemy names, ie Gem-Bodied Creatures, Triceratops, Vampire --Tailikku1 (talk) 16:30, 7 March 2015 (EST)
