Introduction
The Scorpion may seem like just another bug with claws and a tail. However, in that tail is Venom.  It's stingers can be deadly to other animals and humans alike.

​Meaning
In The Traditional Classical World Religion, Scorpius was the Scorpion sent out by Gaia to kill Orion. She did this out of rage for Orion stating that he would hunt and kill every animal on Earth. This attempt at Orion's life failed however because a Serpent Bearer named Ophiuchus would revive him and Orion would live on. This is why in the night sky you never see both The Orion Constellation and The Scorpius Constellation in the same view of the night sky; also why The Ophiuchus Constellation lies in the midway of the two.
