I think you would need at least ten scorpions, and I only have three
(but one is a trans-antifreeze orange one, I bet he's got super powers!).

  He's sort of like "Rudolph, the Trans-neon-orange Scorpion."
  I think you should consider the marketing potential of this,
  seeing as how Christmas is coming up and all.  At the very
  least, perhaps someone can make a short stop-motion feature.
  We do after all have a Lego Santa and sleigh set in existence.

Or, perhaps the red-orange thing is a lobster and not a scorpion at all?  That
would make the most sense.

   A lobster?  Ye Gods, man, I think you're on to something!
   Now I have to completely alter the power ratios!  (And figure
   out why they've got erectile tails.)

   Hmmm...that may explain the trans-orange ones, but then why
   is the riverine example towing the raft on the small Adventurers
   set black?  Unfortunately the only black river I know of is
   the Cuyahoga (when it's not on fire), and that's nowhere near
   Ancient Egypt.

Aren't lobsters black *before* you boil[1] them? That would explain a
lot... Johnny Thunder has a lobster towing his raft! The only problem
is... Lobsters do not live in fresh water.

Maybe it is a really big freshwater shrimp?

[1] We can have gourmet restaurants now, with lobster aquariums! And,
when lobsters are boiled, they turn red! IIRC, there are red scorpions
as well. There we have it, boiled and not boiled lobsters. Maybe I
should make a lobster shop in my town?
