	Scorpions can be difficult to kill, as they have have attacks that can severely wound [[blockhead]]s. Even the strongest weapons may require two blows to kill one, and as scorpions almost always retaliate so using weak weapons against one is ~~a poor strategy~~. Confronting one scorpion at a time reduces the risk significantly.		Scorpions can be difficult to kill, as they have have attacks that can severely wound [[blockhead]]s.

	It is possible to trap a scorpion to make it easier to kill. The pictured method is to dig one block down and stack two [[block]]s next to it. The scorpion can then be trapped and killed without moving away.		It is possible to trap a scorpion to make it easier to kill.
