Scorpion
From the Croc Wiki, the Croc encyclopedia
A Scorpion is an enemy found in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and Croc (Game Boy Color).
In Original Game
Scorpions are red in colour, and appear in a few levels. They will jump out of a pit of lava and shoot Fireballs at Croc, then they'll skitter around until defeated. They are similar to Firepoppers.
In GBC
Scorpions move left and right, firing projectiles at Croc should he get too near one.
