Blunder Tail

Blunder Tail
Species:	Scorpions
Home World:	Fellmuth Arena Pirate Fleet
First appearance:	The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

Blunder Tails are scorpion-like creatures that appear as an enemy in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. They are associated with the Skavengers. Spyro faces two Blunder Tails when he's captured by the Skavengers, and forced to fight them in the Fellmuth Arena. They are later encountered as enemies in the level.

Characteristics

Behavior

Blunder Tails mainly lunge at Spyro while blocking his attacks with their large pincers; in this state, they are invincible to all attacks, even when they themselves are attacking. Spyro must stun them by knocking their claws away in order to inflict damage on them. If a Blunder Tail's health bar is depleted the first time, it will briefly fall unconscious with the rider attempting to revive it, allowing Spyro to headbash the creature to finish it off quickly; if left alone howver, the Blunder Tail will eventually recover with a half-filled health bar and must be attacked the same way in order to knock it out again to deliver the headbash.

The process repeats each time Spyro fails to headbash an unconscious Blunder Tail until the third time, wherein the headbash is no longer required and the player can simply attack it with regular melee attacks to defeat it for good.

Trivia

• The Blunder Tails share the same character animations as the Buffalo Beetles.
