deathstalker
Venomous desert scorpion
A deathstalker is a species of scorpion (*Leiurus quinquestriatus*) native to North Africa and the Middle East, known for its potent venom—among the most dangerous of any scorpion.
The name also applies to other venomous or predatory creatures in fiction and gaming, where it evokes something lethal and relentless: The deathstalker emerged from the shadows.
