It first appeared in "Anne Hunter" where it was stalking the Plantars while they were camping in the forest. It then kidnapped the Plantars and Anne had to go rescue them using the hunting skills she learned from Sprig while being guided by a hallucination of Sprig. When Anne finds the lair of the Scorpileo and the Plantars tied up, she is about to free them when the Scorpileo itself arrives. However, Anne tricks the Scorpileo into a trap using the hunting dance and frees the Planters.

Trivia

• The Scorpileo might draw inspiration from the Manticore, a mythical creature depicted with the head of a human, body of a lion, and tail of a scorpion.
• The creature shares many similarities with the Predator. Its ability to see in infrared and its extendable claws allude to the Predator's weapons, while its chattering and extending its jaws also reference the Predator. Also, the Scorpileo's hideout is littered with arranged carcasses in the same way the Predator arranges its prey like trophies.
