Common places to find radscorpions are Scorpion Gulch, the scorpion burrow, the scorpion valley near Goodsprings cemetery and the Yangtze Memorial. Radscorpions are very large, around the size of a bighorner calf, and have a thick carapace covering their entire body, with no definitive weak spot.

The potent venom in their sacs can be processed into a potent antivenom with rudimentary medical skills or diluted for use as an exotic food ingredient, and while their flesh and eggs can be cooked to make a variety of dishes, including steaks, omelettes, radscorpion en croute or steamed radscorpion tails in drawn butter. Radscorpions are frequently hunted by wastelanders, both to control their population and to procure their body parts. Their thick exoskeleton offer good protection, capable of withstanding even firearms and attacks with melee weapons. The venom sac and stinger are a particular threat, as the radscorpion will always try to attack with it first, incapacitating its prey, and follow up with powerful pincer strikes to deliver the killing blows. When encountered, radscorpions are notable for their aggressive behavior and relentless pursuit of prey. Albino radscorpions are also known to exist and the few that are not killed early on in their life usually become one of the most dangerous predators in the wasteland.

In fact, radscorpions exhibit a diverse range of exoskeleton colorations, ranging from copper brown, through pale gray and blue, to black. Their color acts as natural camouflage in many environments. Their ability to burrow beneath the ground and hide under rocks or similar debris certainly helped its spread, allowing the tough arthropod to protect itself against adverse environmental conditions. Even blasted, irradiated expanses like the Capital Wasteland are comfortable enough for radscorpion populations.
