General Attributes
The scorpion is properly classified as a worm, not a snake, according to Isidore. It stings with its tail and so injects poison into the wound. A person who is stung becomes hydrophobic. A scorpion will not strike the palm of the hand.
Uses Magical, Medical, Alchemical and Culinary
A scorpion roasted and secretly given in food will cause bladder stones to break up and dissolve painlessly.
