This item first appears to be a Large sealed iron barrel weighing 500 pounds. The barrel has a hidden catch, which can be found with a successful DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Releasing the catch unlocks a hatch at one end of the barrel, allowing two Medium or smaller creatures to crawl inside.
The apparatus of the Scorpion is a Large object with the following statistics:
Armor Class: 20
Hit Points: 200
Speed: 30 ft., swim 30 ft. (or 0 ft. for both if the legs and tail aren't extended)
Damage Immunities: poison, psychic
To be used as a vehicle, the apparatus requires one pilot. While the apparatus's hatch is closed, the compartment is airtight and watertight. The compartment holds enough air for 10 hours of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.
Barrel Scorpion Attacks
Each extended pincer makes the following melee weapon attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage. Pincers can also be used to grappled: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Escape DC 15.
Metal Net of Fire Damage
The barrel scorpion contains one metal net of fire damage. A creature hit by the metal net is restrained until it is freed. A creature can use its action to make DC 15 Strength check, freeing itself on a success. The creature takes 2d10 fire damage for every round stuck under the hot net.
