The so-called Death Stinger is a massive scorpion-like Tiberian lifeform that has only been known to reside in heavily terraformed regions where it is an apex predator. It is largely feared for it's immense strength, size ,and brutal cunning. It's carapace is many times tougher than a tank's. It attacks by projecting a highly pressurized stream of corrosive liquid Tiberium from it's stinger, effortlessly cutting through infantry, vehicles, and structures alike. Most terrifyingly, it is quite agile for it's size. Many Guardian settlements had fallen prey to this beast but research into it's behavior reveals that it is largely docile when not hunting and lesser Tiberian lifeforms has been seen sharing a territory with it. Perhaps they were too scared to oppose such a magnificent beast? Or were they just seeking protection from it knowing that other predators were not stupid enough to mess with it? Eventually these lesser creatures included the Guardians themselves who saw it as their ace in the hole. Lacking the resources to build their own superheavy tank, taming this creature was the next best thing and work went into integrating it into their arsenal. While capable of standing its ground against most adversaries, it's lack of anti-air defenses and vulnerability to CABAL's Catalyst weapons are some of it's key weaknesses.
