Hi Raunekk,

It seems the source from where you have picked up this question, have a typo mistake.

This question is already discussed over this forum and contains no such typo mistakes. Check the following link to see that question:

Also worth to be noted that Scorpion is a type of Arachnids. So Scorpion is compared with his family of other Arachnids to distinguish Scorpion with rest of its family.
