Scorpion \Scor"pi*on\, n. [F., fr. L. scorpio, scorpius, Gr. ?,
   perhaps akin to E. sharp.]
   1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of numerous species of pulmonate
      arachnids of the order Scorpiones, having a suctorial
      mouth, large claw-bearing palpi, and a caudal sting.

   Note: Scorpions have a flattened body, and a long, slender
         post-abdomen formed of six movable segments, the last
         of which terminates in a curved venomous sting. The
         venom causes great pain, but is unattended either with
         redness or swelling, except in the axillary or inguinal
         glands, when an extremity is affected. It is seldom if
         ever destructive of life. Scorpions are found widely
         dispersed in the warm climates of both the Old and New
         Worlds.

   2. (Zo["o]l.) The pine or gray lizard ({Sceloporus
      undulatus}). [Local, U. S.]

   3. (Zo["o]l.) The scorpene.

   4. (Script.) A painful scourge.

            My father hath chastised you with whips, but I will
            chastise you with scorpions.          --1 Kings xii.
