The Scorpion

Description:

A scorpion symbolizes evil, death, destruction, and unpleasant situations. Filmmakers have long used imagery of scorpions to convey the above moods in a storyline. Scorpions themselves are unique. Classified as predatory arachnids, they are related to spiders. Scorpions have eight legs and a pair of pincers extruding from their front limbs. But what makes them unique is the narrow, segmented tail, curving up from behind and resting above the scorpion’s back. At the end of the tail is a stinger, always prepared to inflict two-fold damage: first with a painful sting and second with a deadly injection of poisonous venom. Many people find even the mere image of a scorpion extremely unsettling.
