Let me tell you something – when I first heard about the DeathStalker Scorpion in Raise Animals, I was skeptical. Another rare pet that’s supposedly “the best”? I’ve heard that story before. But after spending countless hours grinding for this Rainbow rarity beast and mastering its unique mechanics, I can confidently say this scorpion lives up to the hype and then some.
The DeathStalker Scorpion isn’t just another pet to add to your collection – it’s a game-changer that completely transforms how you approach long-distance runs in Raise Animals. What makes it so special? Well, imagine having a pet that becomes invincible half the time while simultaneously getting faster the longer you run. That’s the magic of the DeathStalker, and I’m here to show you exactly how to get your hands on one and dominate the leaderboards.
For those new to the scene, Raise Animals is one of those Roblox games that sneaks up on you. At first glance, it seems simple – catch animals, raise them, make money, repeat. But dig deeper, and you’ll discover a surprisingly deep progression system with rare pets, unique abilities, and competitive elements that keep you coming back for more.
The game revolves around exploring different biomes, each with its own set of animals to catch and environmental challenges to overcome. As you progress, you unlock new areas, discover rarer pets, and work toward building the ultimate collection. It’s this progression loop that makes finding pets like the DeathStalker Scorpion so rewarding – they’re not just cool to look at, but they actually change how you play the game.
I’ll be honest – I wasn’t always a DeathStalker believer. When I first started playing Raise Animals, I was all about those flashy Shiny pets with their sparkly effects and impressive base stats. But everything changed during one particularly frustrating grinding session in the Desert biome.
I had been trying for days to break my personal distance record, but kept getting wrecked by obstacle clusters in the late game. Then, on what felt like my millionth run, a DeathStalker Scorpion finally spawned. I almost missed it because I wasn’t paying attention, but I managed to tame it just before it burrowed underground again.
That first run with my new DeathStalker was eye-opening. Suddenly, those obstacle clusters that used to end my runs were barely an issue. The scorpion would burrow right through them, emerging safely on the other side while maintaining its incredible speed. I shattered my previous record without even trying, and I’ve been a DeathStalker convert ever since.
What I love most about this pet is how it feels to use. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching your scorpion seamlessly transition between surface running and underground burrowing, automatically avoiding danger while building up insane speed. It’s the kind of pet that makes you feel like you’ve unlocked a secret strategy that other players haven’t discovered yet.
Alright, let’s get down to business. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining your very own DeathStalker Scorpion.
The DeathStalker Scorpion is exclusive to the Desert biome, so your first mission is to unlock this area. Here’s what you need:
Now, 7.5 million might seem like a lot, but I’ve got some pro tips for farming this efficiently:
I managed to save up the 7.5 million in about a week of dedicated play, focusing on a mix of active grinding and smart AFK setups.
Once you’ve unlocked the Desert biome, here’s what you’re up against:
That 1% spawn rate might sound discouraging, but it’s actually quite generous for a Rainbow-tier pet. Many similar games have spawn rates of 0.1% or lower for their rarest creatures. The key is patience and preparation.
This is where most players fail, and it’s the secret to successfully taming your DeathStalker. The scorpion follows a very specific pattern:
Pro Tip: The moment you see a DeathStalker Scorpion spawn, immediately start counting in your head. You have exactly 5 seconds to get into position and tame it before it burrows underground. Don’t waste time trying to tame it while it’s underground – you’ll just get frustrated.
Here’s my personal strategy for timing:
It took me about 15-20 attempts before I finally got the timing right, but once you master this rhythm, your success rate improves dramatically.
Want to increase your chances even further? Here are some advanced techniques I’ve discovered:
Weather Optimization: The official Wiki shows that certain weather conditions boost spawn rates. The best weather for DeathStalker hunting includes:
Pro Strategy: Check the weather forecast and plan your grinding sessions during these boosted periods. I’ve noticed significantly more spawns during Bioluminescent Night events.
Server Hopping: If you’re not seeing any DeathStalkers after 30-45 minutes of grinding, try switching servers. Sometimes spawn rates can vary between instances.
Time of Day: While not officially confirmed, I’ve had better luck during off-peak hours when there are fewer players competing for spawns.
Let’s break down what makes this scorpion so special. I’ve spent hours testing and documenting its capabilities, and here’s the complete breakdown.
This is where the DeathStalker truly shines and separates itself from other pets.
The DeathStalker gets progressively faster the longer you run. Here’s what I’ve observed:
This scaling speed is what makes the DeathStalker so good for long-distance runs. Unlike other pets that plateau, the DeathStalker just keeps getting faster.
This is the game-changer. The scorpion automatically cycles between two states:
Underground Phase (5 seconds):
Surface Phase (5 seconds):
Why This Matters: The automatic 50% invincibility means you’re essentially getting a “free pass” on half the obstacles in your path. This dramatically increases your survivability during long runs.
The DeathStalker responds differently to various weather conditions, affecting its performance:
Pro Tip: Plan your record-breaking attempts during these weather events for maximum performance.
After extensive testing and comparison with other Rainbow pets, I can confidently say the DeathStalker is in a class of its own. Here’s why:
The combination of 3 hearts and 50% automatic invincibility makes this pet incredibly forgiving. I’ve survived situations that would have instantly killed other pets, thanks to the well-timed burrow cycles.
While some pets start fast but plateau, the DeathStalker just keeps getting faster. During my best runs, I’ve reached speeds that make navigating through biomes feel like teleporting.
The predictable burrow cycle makes the DeathStalker one of the best pets for semi-AFK play. I’ve set up runs where I only need to pay attention during the surface phases, allowing me to multitask while still making progress.
Unlike some pets that excel only in specific situations, the DeathStalker performs well in almost every scenario. Whether you’re going for distance records, farming resources, or just casually playing, this pet delivers.
Ready to take your DeathStalker game to the next level? Here are the advanced techniques I’ve developed through hundreds of hours of play.
For maximum distance, I use this approach:
Key Insight: The most dangerous moments are when the scorpion resurfaces. Pay extra attention during these transitions.
The DeathStalker’s burrow ability changes how you should approach obstacles:
With the DeathStalker’s water generation (50 drops every 5 minutes), you can run longer without worrying about dehydration. Here’s how I manage resources:
How does the DeathStalker stack up against other Rainbow rarity pets? I’ve tested most of them extensively:
| Pet | Speed | Survivability | AFK Potential | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeathStalker Scorpion | 10/10 | 9/10 | 10/10 | 10/10 |
| Phoenix | 8/10 | 7/10 | 6/10 | 7/10 |
| Tyrannosaurus Rex | 6/10 | 8/10 | 4/10 | 6/10 |
| Whale Shark | 7/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 8/10 |
| Pharaoh Eagle | 9/10 | 6/10 | 5/10 | 7/10 |
Why DeathStalker Wins: The combination of scaling speed, automatic invincibility, and consistent performance makes it the most versatile and reliable Rainbow pet for most playstyles.
I’ve seen countless players make the same mistakes when trying to get or use the DeathStalker. Don’t fall into these traps:
This is the most common mistake. Remember: you can ONLY tame the DeathStalker when it’s above ground. Wait for it to surface, then move in quickly.
Many players grind for hours without checking the weather. Spawn rates and performance vary dramatically based on weather – always check before starting a long session.
The burrow cycle is predictable, but many players panic and try to manually avoid obstacles that the scorpion would handle automatically. Trust the cycle!
Five seconds sounds like a lot, but it goes by quickly. Practice the timing so you’re ready to tame the moment you see a DeathStalker spawn.
Need that 7.5 million for the Desert biome? Here are my most effective money-making strategies:
Beyond just the DeathStalker, here are some general tips that have helped me improve at Raise Animals:
I get asked these questions constantly, so let me answer them all in one place:
A: In most cases, yes. While Shiny pets often have better base stats, the DeathStalker’s unique burrow ability provides consistent survivability that most Shiny pets can’t match. For long-distance runs specifically, the DeathStalker is often superior.
A: Its main weakness is the transition moment when it resurfaces. If it emerges directly in front of or inside an obstacle, it can take immediate damage. Pay close attention during these surface phases.
A: Be patient! With a 1% spawn rate, it can take many attempts. I recommend grinding during weather events with boost multipliers, and don’t get discouraged – it took me about 20 hours of grinding before I found my first one.
A: Absolutely! It’s one of the best pets for semi-AFK play thanks to its predictable burrow cycle. However, I still recommend monitoring it during surface phases for the safest results.
A: While Italian Brainrot pets have their own unique mechanics, the DeathStalker generally offers better performance for long-distance runs due to its scaling speed and automatic survivability features.
A: While not officially confirmed, I’ve noticed increased spawns during special weather events like Bioluminescent Night and Sandstorm. Keep an eye on the game’s event calendar for potential boost periods.
A: Focus on survival early on, then trust the burrow cycle as your speed increases. The key is learning when to actively avoid obstacles and when to let the burrow ability handle them automatically.
After countless hours of grinding, testing, and mastering the DeathStalker Scorpion, I can confidently say it’s one of the most rewarding pets to obtain in Raise Animals. The journey from unlocking the Desert biome to finally taming your first DeathStalker is filled with challenges, but the payoff is absolutely worth it.
What makes this pet so special isn’t just its impressive stats or cool appearance – it’s how it fundamentally changes your approach to the game. The automatic survivability, scaling speed, and reliable performance make it a versatile companion that excels in almost every situation.
If you’re serious about Raise Animals and want to take your gameplay to the next level, the DeathStalker Scorpion should be at the top of your priority list. Yes, it requires patience and dedication to obtain, but once you experience the thrill of blazing through biomes with this incredible scorpion, you’ll understand why it’s considered one of the best pets in the game.
So what are you waiting for? Start saving up for that Desert biome, master the burrow cycle timing, and join the elite ranks of DeathStalker owners. Trust me, once you experience the power of this Rainbow rarity beast, you’ll wonder how you ever played without it.
Happy hunting, and I’ll see you in the leaderboards!
