Silent Sentinel. The Bronze Sentinel Scorpion becomes eerily still, gaining advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when it remains motionless, blending seamlessly into its surroundings.
Venomous Alchemy (Recharge 5-6). With a flick of its segmented tail, the scorpion injects a chosen alchemical poison. Options include: Petrifying Toxin: The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or begin to turn to stone, becoming restrained. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Dissolving Acid: The target suffers an additional 7 (2d6) acid damage, corroding armor and equipment.
Steam Burst. When the Bronze Sentinel Scorpion's integrity is compromised (20 hit points or fewer), it releases a scalding steam cloud. Each creature within 5 feet must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 5 (1d8) fire damage and be blinded by the steam until the end of the scorpion's next turn.

Venomous Sting. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, plus 4 (1d8) poison damage, injecting a debilitating toxin.
Legendary Actions
Keen Observation. The scorpion performs a Wisdom (Perception) check, analyzing its surroundings with mechanical precision.
