Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a monstrous scorpion must hit with a claw attack. A monstrous scorpion can use either its Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for grapple checks, whichever is better.

Skills: A monstrous scorpion has a +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, and Spot checks.
Note
This is a modified version of the creature to reduce its CR to 2, making it fair to use in place of a heavy warhorse (for a medium Paladin).
