Description

--- The Scorpion is a Hive game piece with precise movement and suppression abilities, balanced by vulnerabilities. Key mechanics include: - *Movement*: Advances exactly two spaces around the Hive. - *Suppression attack*: Prevents adjacent enemy bugs from flipping (e.g., orange-outlined black Fly). - *Immunity exception*: Shieldbug resists the Scorpion's suppression. - *Power disablement*: All abilities nullified when the Scorpion is covered. In the Hive game, the Scorpion functions as a tactical piece that maneuvers exactly two spaces around the Hive structure. It further exerts control by suppressing any adjacent enemy bug, prohibiting them from flipping over, as illustrated by the orange-outlined black Fly. This suppression effect notably excludes the Shieldbug, which remains immune to the Scorpion's attack. However, the Scorpion's movement and suppression powers are completely disabled whenever it is covered by another piece. ---
