Question of the Week#20 · 2:25am Aug 24th, 2021
Well, this should be a fun one... hopefully. The question for this week, what sort of traits would you give a scorpion pony mare? They can be personality traits, hobbies or even physical traits.
-I don't own this image.
Note: This image doesn't necessarily represent the scorpion pony mentioned, it is merely an example.
Unless her carapace is softer, I would think she wears something like socks/shoes, so that her (hoof steps? foot steps? skittering?) won't be as loud on roads or indoors.
Well she's a cute one.
I really need to have a sit down with more of your stories. I haven't had a lot of time to really dig into them.
personality trait: likes changelings and will hug one if come near
I am not happy because these fictional characters are more attractive than real women and I'm no longer attracted to real women because of them.

5573294 I should probably mention that the picture is merely for an example.
She might do well in heavy lifting jobs or perhaps construction/demolition, though depending on her personality might be a ranger of sorts making the wilds a safe place or a researcher studying stuff that others arent able/too scared to get to
She’s very intense and passionate about her interests. So intense that she scares people away.
a = input("Huggable? [Y/N]")
if a==("yes" or "Yes" or "Y" or "y"):
print("Hug her")
else:
print("Pain.")
She is absolutely ga-ga about anime. She'll talk your ear off for hours if you give her the chance.

Awesome

This is authentic code that works in python.

I only learn C# but I found it still cool :D
Scorpions' closest relatives are spiders. If she isn't going to be the only monster mare in the story, make use of that.
There's also The Scorpion and the Frog (which took me an annoyingly long time to find because I couldn't remember the other animal in the fable); likely a source of stereotypes of her kind regardless of whether she fits them.
First of all another set of legs and none of these things on her head. The new set of legs would be where her “arms” are right now and her arms would be directly in front of that. Her head shouldn’t be that high, the neck would need to be a bit shorter.
Her poison would not kill in normal doses, but everything over 3 times the normal can cause permanent injury and if it’s over 5 times the normal dose it can kill. Otherwise it would just be very painful or maybe dangerous to very small creatures, like foals up to 3 years.
As for her personality, she would be very patient but also very emotional. She likes the calm just as much as a party or market place and one of her favourite things to do would be hunting; Both as game and her food. After all, pony food isn’t all she needs.
EDIT: It’s venom. Not poison.

Venom tends to scale inversely with size, so her stinger is probably "just" a big stabby thing. Plenty dangerous as a spear, but she'd have to be a skilled alchemist to get anything else out of it.

Because it tends to be less concentrated, right?
But yeah, the absolute most she could do would be 3 times the normal dosis and that only if she didn’t use her venom up in the recent past. The x5 thing is only really possible if the pony she stung isn’t getting any medical and she returns for the kill 2 days later. Or if someone were to collect her venom somehow.

No, because you don't need venom when you just use brute force.
