The Tartarus Scorpions are magical scorpions residing in the prison dimension, Tartarus. They are the subordinates of the Tartarus Dragon, who acts as a warden. The scorpions are summoned by the dragon in order to torture those imprisoned within Tartarus by making them recall their most painful memories.
History[]
In "Keep Calm and Harry On", the scorpions were sent by the Tartarus Dragon to taunt Harry Greenwood with his memories from his human life. Harry rebuffed the dragon's advances, saying those memories weren't real, since he lacked his own. The dragon later proved the memories were real by sending the scorpions to make him remember receiving a knife cut in the abdomen.
When Maggie Vera later entered Tartarus, the dragon used his scorpions to make her remember her mother's death and Parker Caine's betrayal. Seeing how badly she reacted to the pain, the dragon began to send more of his scorpions. Harry then taunted the dragon to make him torture him instead of Maggie, which he obliged. His torments came to an end when the demon Dante released Harry and Maggie from Tartarus.
Physical Appearance[]
Externally, the Tartarus Scorpions are seemingly ordinary scorpions. When using their ability, their stingers glow a bright golden color.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Active Powers
- Memory Inducement: Through their venom released when stinging the prisoners of Tartarus, the scorpions can force the individuals to relive their worst and most painful memories.
Trivia[]
- In "No Hablo Brujeria", when Macy Vaughn and Harry accidentally activated a Stone Tablet, black scorpions were summoned that spread across the facade of Vera Manor. It is unknown whether the scorpions of Tartarus were summoned or whether they were other monsters very similar to them. It is also possible that this merely summoned ordinary scorpions.
