I have been attempting to create a non-giant version of the giant desert scorpion. i have mostly modeled of the bark scorpion. It is not a vermin. I am having trouble getting its stinger to pirce the skin, instead of denting/bruising it. I have tryed some things, but I still need help. any advice or link to advice would be helpful, thanks.
P.S I have checked the wiki.

The scorpion may be too small to use its sting effectively. Try giving it a larger size.

I was able to tear apart muscle when I grew the scorpion to the size of a cat.

Or you could try giving the sting attack a large velocity modifier to make it hit harder.

Also, [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:POISON:LIQUID:100:100] should be [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:VENOM:LIQUID:100:100]
