Call into action your magitek scorpion. Bears no armaments, so poses no danger whether its tail is up or down.

Commissioned to produce a prize for the Gold Saucer, the engineers of Garlond Ironworks opted to create this replica of the magitek scorpion. By forgoing armaments and rethinking materials from the ground up, they succeeded in reducing size and weight and minimizing energy consumption.

Trivia

This mount is based on the first boss from Final Fantasy VII. During the battle, Cloud warns Barrett that attacking the boss while its tail is up will cause it to counterattack. However, the warning was poorly translated in the English version of the original game, suggesting that players should attack while the tail is up.
