Kharid scorpions are a rare species of scorpion native to the Kharidian Desert. They play a prominent role in the Scorpion Catcher quest, during which players must capture three that escaped from the wizard Thormac. One roams freely on the second floor of the Monastery, apparently unhindered by its holy protective power of Saradomin. Another can be found in the beginning of the Taverley Dungeon. And the final one is found in the Barbarian Agility Arena. None of these scorpions are attackable. If players attempt to pick them up, they will suffer 3 hitpoints damage. The attacks of the scorpions are not poisonous, though incapable of being blocked by any of the Protection Prayers, not even the Protect from Melee Prayer.
