Legend / Myth
Whilst the reason for why it was sent to kill Orion is disputed, its actions are not. He came from out of the ground and stung Orion to death. Scorpius was sent bu Gaia or Hera to kill Orion because he had displeased her. Another story had Scorpius sent because Apollo had grown jealous of Artemis' attention to the man. They appear in opposite parts of the sky to give the illusion that Orion is still running from the Scorpius.
