The largest scorpion on earth: the giant forest scorpion of southern India, exceeding even the emperor at full size, split into its own genus when the Asian forest scorpions were revised.
The animal is the reassuring pattern at maximum scale: enormous pincers, modest tail, mild venom, humid forest keeping with deep substrate and cover. Impressive is the entire job description, and it is overqualified.
The border is the market. India prohibits wildlife export, so legal stock descends from pre-ban lines, the founder pool is closed, and listings are rare events priced on the superlative. Older material trades under the previous Heterometrus name, which makes the cross-search between labels the practical note. The biggest scorpion in the world is exactly as available as Indian paperwork allows, which is barely.
The line on each tile: lowest ask per day.
Rarity BETA Rarity is supply, and only supply: the tier is how many sellers have ever carried a species, and for a single seller, how many separate listings. Price is not part of it, and neither is how recently it appeared. Tiers are given to tarantula species only.
