Pit Scorpion - A deadly type of scorpion that appears in "The Lightning Thief." When Luke brings Percy into the woods and reveals his allegiance to Kronos, he summoned a Pit Scorpion to attack Percy. He tells Percy he should not go for his sword, as the pit scorpion can kill in 60 seconds, and can jump up to fifteen feet. When Luke disappears, Percy manages to kill it even though it managed to sting him. With the help of the wood nymphs, Percy recovered from its poison.
