    Lions vs Scorpions

    There is no way a Scorpion could outspeed a Lion...

    Not sure how they'll handle it but I'm pretty sure "100% movement speed" Scorpions will look fuzzy.

    Discuss.

    I just don't get it. Boars would have make alot more sense and would have been awesome to ride on. I can't wait to see my Giant Tauren riding a Giant Scorpion.... /sarcasm

    Oh, and out of all thing, I can't wait to see that segmented tail with the venomous stinger hit my back as I jump into some action!!

    This makes riding on a scorpion significantly more dangerous.

    Scorpions got a lot of legs to work with. Incoming 110% speed!

    I like the scorpion more because it is alot more.. different, no matter what people say about new models and skins etc. it is basically a big cat, which we have had before

    I can't wait.. scorpions look fiercy!

    The fact remains that we don't have that much models with eight legs o_O. Eight legs mean model's legs moves fast! That is why I was wondering what it will look like when an undead is riding the scorpion.

    Take a blood elf that rides his hawkstrider. I recall seeing the legs going pretty fast and there are only two of 'em!!! Eight legs on a smaller model such as undead and you'll see nothing but blurry sticks.

    My two cents.

    True. A lion could jump over them, by the scorpion has the stinger, hit them in the gut, 40 dead lions. Lions could go around, 40 horde scorpions could take the whole field. Lions die either way .

    Scorpion.. I mean.. this isn't just a little one but a giant scorpion.. Like most bugs if they were the size of lions we'd be screwed.

    Lions are my second favorite animal after wolves. Scorpions are meh.

    Lions are 9ft long, and run 50 mph.

    Scorpions are 7 inches long, and run 4 mph.

    9ft= 108 inches/7= roughly 15.

    15 times 4= 60 mph would be the speed of a lion-sized scorpion. Well, there ya go.

    /mathz.

    (all values are of course, approximate)

    No damn way I'd ride an overgrown bug with a poison stinger perfectly positioned for backstabbing me.

    These scorpions are the same size as lions.. and obviously they're poisonous. Even certain regualar sized scorpions can kill a lion if they sting them. (or maybe that's spiders /shrug)

    Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my! I couldn't resist. On topic, I would prefer the lion, but I also prefer to be hostile to Stormwind, because attacking that place is rather fun for a Defias Sympathizer like myself. FOR VANCLEEF!
