Each drop rolls independently — a single kill can yield multiple drops or none.
King Scorpia Mount
The rare King Scorpia Mount drops only from King Scorpia himself (not from ordinary Giant Scorpions).
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Base speed | 25% |

Scorpion Camouflage
While riding King Scorpia Mount:
- All ordinary Giant Scorpions ignore you completely
- Attack a Scorpion and camouflage breaks — they hunt you for 30 seconds
- Every further attack refreshes the 30-second timer
- Stop attacking and wait it out, you become invisible again
- Useful for farming or repositioning in The Dunes
