Pulmonoscorpius (name meaning "Breathing Scorpion"), otherwise simply known as the Giant Eight-legged Scorpion, is a genus of giant arachnid scorpion that originated during the Late Carboniferous era in what is now Europe. Measuring 70 cenimeters long, the high oxygen level in the Carboniferous Period allowed this creature (and many others) to grow to very large sizes.
In the Series 1 episode "Arthropods of the Swamp" several Pulmonoscorpius were brought to the park from Late Carboniferous Scotland, 300 millon years ago. They reside in the Bug Dome Enclosure.
