Common Name: Arachnoid
Na'vi Name: Kali'weya
Taxonomy: Scorpiosista virosae or "poisonous scorpion"
Habitat: Rainforest vegetation. Range includes thin band of latitude in rainforest regions of Australis. Other species of arachnoids have been found in almost every region of Pandora, but are apparently absent from areas of intense vulcanism.
Anatomy: Extended thorax, six two-jointed legs (three on either side of thorax). Similar to Terran scorpion and other arachnids. Tail ends in twin stinger that delivers neurotoxin to prey.
Feeding Ecology: Usual food source is small insects, but will prey upon small rodents and birds if opportunity rises.
Size: Up to 18 centimeters long
