Emperor Scorpion
Emperors are large scorpions, at around 6 inches long. They are black (with green or brown hues) and have an impressive set of pedipalps ("claws"). As far as scorpions go, they are quite docile and are not particularly dangerous, in contrast to some other species of scorpion. They are not great for handling, but they are quiet, clean and easy to care for with a lifespan of about 6-8 years.
