Researchers have found something that's new and is basically a half scorpion and a half spider. This 'animal' enjoys lurking inside the dark and mysterious caves of Yosemite National Park. They're calling it a pseudo-scorpion, which would be like an arachnid that has an abdomen like spiders (and with the expected eight legs attached), but claws like scorpions. Unlike actual scorpions, however, they don't have the dreaded stinger in their tales. But this bizarre new life form more than makes up for it by sporting venom-filled claws instead. Lucky for unwary adventurers, this new pseudo-scorpion (Parobisium yosemite) happens to be blind, slow-moving and pretty small. In fact, they typically measure no more than about half an inch. In fact, nobody's noticed the little buggers so far because they only dwell in deep in dark granite caves, where nobody tends to go anyway.
Is it possible that there are giant-sized, man-eating versions dwelling far deeper underground and guarding hoards of forgotten treasure. Anything's possible, I guess. So if you and your party just happen to be on an underearth quest (deep below the earth's surface under Yosemite park) and a large claw taps you on the shoulder, you should probably think about running...
