ART:
Original art from ETG, modified by Zblader and Flayne
IDEA:

NOTES:
"Water scorpions breathe with the help of a siphon, which is used for obtaining air from the water surface. The siphon, also known as breathing tube, is a structure of two respiratory tubes that are pressed against each other. In case of an immature water scorpion, siphon is not developed and breathing takes place with the help of abdominal spiracles.

Ummm.... yeah....."
-The Scholar Genuinous, recorded from one of his earlier lessons.

"A creature of Death, it seeks to corrupt everything it touches with poison and Water; armies often find their very lifelines cut by its deadly poison infecting their water supplies."
-Ancient Scrolls (http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Fan_Based_Storyline), dated 301 P.A. (Prior Advent) in the Academy of Sanctum Solaris


"Hah! I can't believe that we actually managed to poison the Oracle today! Scorpio and Serket laughed and chatted as they walked along the paths of Light, disguised so that they wouldn't be caught by the Council tending to the very same Oracle.

It was a glorious time for the FG's. With the arrival of the mysterious stranger, their new allies, and the reorganization of their cults, the War against the Council was at a high point not reached in quite a while ever since the Grinder Rebellion.

"So, how it's going with Fire Queen?" Serket asked Scopio as he was drinking some water. Caught off guard, he coughed and glared at Serket.

"We're doing pretty great, actually. Started going out again." He paused. "You're not planning to hit on me again, are you?'

"Of course not." she giggled. "I remember the last time I tried that."

"I just don't want to remember that." he blushed in response.

"I never thought that Fire Queen would be the one the resort to poison though. I was expecting something like a new dragon or maybe some kind of grand insect." Serket thought out loud, a few minutes later as they began to near the outskirts of the city.

"Powerful things come in small packages, Serket. You should know that." Serket smiled as she heard this familiar line from Scorpio - he was already trying to say something wise but Osiris and Chaos Lord always outsmarted him.

"Well, to compensate for her Wasps (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24541.0.html)... I thought I'd like to give you something." Seeing the frown in his eyes, she added "...as a friend." The last time had been just for fun, but this time Scorpio's relationship with Fire Queen on edge. - Serket knew better than to break it.

She slipped something into his palm, and he opened it to find a blue scorpion, it's stinger swirling with the purity of healing rather than the usual dark toxins placed in scorpions' stingers.

"You always said powerful things could come in small packages." She smiled, and moved her hand to reveal two of them. "One for each of you."

He smiled back at her genuinely. "So, you're really sorry about last time?"

"Yes. Good luck with your relationship, okay?" She replied before they parted off into the forest.


A few days later, Serket found a small honey cake placed by her beside. It was delicious, but when she asked Scorpio if it was him, he replied "With spice comes sugar." and winked.
A scorpion that heals instead of hurts. Less powerful than the other scorpions, and compensates with slightly raised stats/slightly lowered cost.

This card is part of a new series of rare cards that can only be obtained through the False Gods : Revolution. However, they are also a series of cards that can function without this thematic addition to the game - as such they can be implemented in the game as regular cards.

How it works:
After you win 10 times against the FGs, the Oracle will warn you that you are about to face "enhanced power" the next time the FG is fought. The FG may or may not also gain special conditions along with having copies of this card in his/her deck, as well as an additional title to indicate that you're not facing the ordinary version of the FG this time.

How the card is obtained:
After you beat an FG, the card automatically reverts back to it's unupgraded form in the spins. Even though it make seem not-so-great as a result, it's still worth a bit of coin (being a rare) and the cards can end up being pretty useful in different situations as well as creating new strategies.

Special Conditions when fighting Scorpio - Aquatic Heart
Scorpio ditches his tridents, and adds  a few Aqua Scorpions in his deck instead - he didn't need the Trident anyway.

Strategy
Unlike Serket, Scorpio has no way of buffing his scorpions - thus any shield that causes damage reduction stops the influx of Purify counters that would otherwise appear. Generally, a rainbow that has good defenses like a Permafrost Shield or Sundials will work pretty well.

Abilities triggered on attack tend to only make sense if they target the attacker or the attacked. Vampire being the exception was explained by the theme of Darkness draining and vampires being mystical enough that the savings could be passed on the controller.

Repeated purify fits an activated ability better. IMHO.

I'd say, add a poison counter to your opponent and one purify counter to your health for each succesful attack, that way it isn't out of line in the series and makes an interesting irony between purify and poison.
but leave attack on 0, or for upped 1/3 is what i'd recommend including the effect.

Hydrotoxin is a good name, to compliment Deadly Poison and Neurotoxin.

I don't know what you guys are saying!
I love this card as it is!
Water is the only element with purifiy.
This acts as a counter to poison and as a free heal over multiple turns.
Honestly I think it's fine as is.

yeah but it goes against the actual series concept, poison.
If he adds poison and the purify effect as i suggested, it could still remain in concept.

I like the idea brought up by flayne that it should take a poison counter from you(adds a purify) and add one poison counter to your opponent, seems balanced with all the other 0 attack scorpions.

Seems like a more fitting name would be leach or Cleaner fish (cleaner wrasse or Labroides dimidiatus) despite the backstory.

Other than the name I love the concept also it actually makes purify counters useful :  D.

Hey, I like this card's concept!  :)
However, the unupped one can't be used in mono- :water deck.  :( (Well, Dune Scorpion can't be used in mono-  :time deck, too).
My idealized elements cycle:
Water -> Fire -> Air -> Earth -> Lightning -> Metal -> Light -> Darkness -> Wood -> Water

if it +atk when it be upgraded.  i'm suggest for 1|2 instead 1|4 in upgraded version.  cuz 1 atk is enough to make this card use easier (water don't have any card that buff atk.)

btw...  about skill name..  what about serum or something?  it's more like healing way?
