Customizing the Scorpion Assassin Droid

Because the Scorpion Battle Droid has four legs, it is very stable compared to the bipeds
presented in this book. This means that there are more options available to you for cus-
tomizing it. For example, try to equip the Scorpion Assassin Droid with wings on its
sides. If you try this, make sure the wings do not interfere with the moving parts already
present (the legs, the tail, and the claws). You could also try different variations on the
tail, but make sure not to make it too heavy or it will not move properly.
