... Desert Scorpion VS GCS.
Sounds like a B-level horror movie. Desert Scorpion vs Giant Cave Spider VII:Return of the Spiderlings!

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Honestly, I just want to see the winner. Too lazy to stop my current fortress for 5 min to test in the arena. And if I really wanted things to be fun, I'd suggest scorpion vs cave dragon. Sure the scorpion's going to die, but will it be able to poison the dragon first? And will the dragon die of said poison? :O

I can do that with cages i bought from merchants? (That's how i got the scorpion)

A cage is a cage. All cages can be built and subsequently designated as prisons or zoos, or used in cage traps assuming they're empty.

Mod it with the [CAN_LEARN] tag or whatever it is, then train it on captured goblins. When it becomes legendary, have it fight in seiges.

Real dorf doctors wash with water AND magma. The resulting burning cauterizes the wound, and the obsidian that forms covers the wound so it can heal.

GCS and GS have only one correct use. Sacrifice pit. For Armok.
