ScorpoViper - A:TLA Animal

This is a ScorpoViper. My friend and I like to Role Play Avatar and this is one of the animals we thought of together. It is a cross between a Scorpion and a Viper.

Attack Methods: This is a really deadly animal. With one bite an average human would die within a few minutes, and a sting from the tail would bring death within a few hours. They are very territorial animals and will attack if someone is in their territory. their primary method of striking its prey is the teeth, but they use it's stinger for protection, as well as a second dose of venom for bigger animals. For example; a human might die from a bite fast, a sting slowly, but a bigger animal (like twice the size of a human or bigger) may not die from a sting or die fast from a bite. Which they normally don't go after large pray but they will attack for self protection.

Description: Males have a slight purple hue to their tail and the females have more of darker tones (brown/black) to blend in with the surroundings more.

Habitat: They tend to live where there are rocks. Can live in rocks near water or rocks in semi-dry climates. Needs to be simi-warm climate though for these animals to live. They are mainly found in the Earth kingdom. In the mild climate areas. (so way north and way south; and deserts they aren't found in).

Status: Common (There is no worry about them becoming endangered, but they aren't overpopulating.)

I used Paint shop Pro 9 for this. Took me about 2 weeks. Little time here little time there. But was over 6 hours I believe to finish it. Used a sketch (link below) to make this. Been wanting to do this for awhile and just finally got motivated (or at least bored enough at work to do it lol)
